hate to even look at the word BUT
we live in the middle of woods..we dont take Abbey in the woods but yesterday while walking we saw a Copperhead that a car had run over the head and killed it on my street..few hours later we were down at the dock for a picnic and there was another one. My question is..god forbid abbey gets bite..is there any med I can keep at home? I heard a sanke bit takes 10 minutes to kill a little dog..and our Vet is 30 minutes away thanks in advance
Im so sacred now to take her out!

Wow, that would freak me out. How big is your baby? I have a little one and I would be afraid that would be the snakes dinner. I have seen a snake eat a bunny and my little one is smaller then that

Sorry to be so gross about it, but it can happen.
