The sun brings out the viper – Västerbotten Courier

Now meander a sign of spring is on the ball up in the sun. The first ormbitna dogs and cats have already reached veterinary clinics, and at worst, you could lose your faithful friend.

Although it’s rare, your dog or cat die from a bite. More than 2700 dogs received veterinary care last year after confronting a snake. And about 17 dogs died, according to an estimate of Agria. The number of cats that can poison better, is uncertain.

– In the spring the snakes usually arrive in the drier parts of the slopes, where it’s been pretty dry and frost-free in winter, says Didrik Vanhoenacker biologist at the Natural History Museum.

But the viper do not always use poison against larger animals.

– It is quite common that they dry hugger. They have no interest in killing a dog or cat. However, using the poison when hunting small rodents.

An acidic vole is not to be trifled with, but it is poisoned by the bite can viper follow suit and feast on the prey when it passed out.

Pets are usually bitten on the nose, but if hewn takes the paw become more serious situation. If the bitten animal moves on the leg muscle contractions contribute to the poison spread. Therefore, you should wear a grimly pets that need care.
