  1. Well as an Australian we're fairly used to wildlife that's dangerous. Although waking up to the cat paralyzed after being bitten by a snake isn't exactly all that fun. Poor fella couldn't move his back legs and had to go to the vet pronto. During receiving antivenom he had a reaction and went into cardiac arrest. They had to bring him back with a shot of adrenaline and start the antivenom process again. He will be in there overnight if all goes well. Might be time for a snake handler to come find the bastard that got him.

      Best wishes to your cat.  What is his name BTW?

       

      Around here (eastern Pennsylvania) the most we really have to worry about are Copperheads.  I was trapesing through the woods of my parents property when I was about 14 and saw a four footer on the other side of the small creek.  I ran as fast as I could back into the house to get my mom but she was afraid to see it.  She and my dad didn't believe me that it was a copperhead or how big it was.  I never saw it again.

       

      I have heard some stories of people coming into contact wit Brown Recluse spiders around here too but luckily have never encountered one myself.

      The snakes, and spiders are real as are Cottonmouth (Water Moccasin)'s

      You don't wanna meet any of them face to face. They all need to go... their are many other snakes without venom who can get the job done!

      You found the snake that bit the kitty, so you can be assured he will get the right meds, provided you show it to the VET. A wrong antivenom can be followed by a correct antivenom when there's enough time in between.

       

      I think your' kitty will pull through... just make sure they let you see him so he knows you are pulling for him.
