I saw it&nbsp;36 hours later, can&#39;t remember the exact symptoms now as it was a long time ago but it was pretty poorly and&nbsp;there was no obvious bite wound or swelling, it did die though despite anti-venom and intensive care but PM exam showed necrotising pancreatitis and not much more&nbsp;so maybe the snake was a red herring <img src="https://www.vetsurgeon.org/emoticons/new/icon_mad.png" alt="Angry" />&nbsp;</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://www.vetsurgeon.org/thread/19153?ContentTypeID=1Tue, 22 Jun 2010 22:17:50 GMT146601cc-3922-4be7-9974-7e1d4e45a66b:20c52660-4fb2-4072-abf4-8b6b3c2b5c51Hannah Gritti<p>Indeed Nix, couldn&#39;t find any punctures or local swelling on the limb...its a possibility I discussed with the O. I saw an adder bite in Devon once and the dog swelled up like a balloon so wasn&#39;t sure if it was an atypical case?</p> <p>Thanks <img src="https://www.vetsurgeon.org/emoticons/new/icon_smile.png" alt="Smile" /></p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://www.vetsurgeon.org/thread/19148?ContentTypeID=1Tue, 22 Jun 2010 17:40:32 GMT146601cc-3922-4be7-9974-7e1d4e45a66b:59494931-a294-4aa9-9b0d-03d9a732710aNixthevet<p>Sudden onset of progressive lameness whilst off lead in barley field and consequential immunological symptoms re facial swelling, behaviour changes, pain and pyrexia taking a few days to settle.....</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>...would consider adder bite if you&#39;re in an area that has them?</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
