Popular Post sheep_herder ★ Posted September 2, 2021 Popular Post Share #1 Posted September 2, 2021 Teal, the Golden Retriever, owned by my photographer and fishing friend was struck in the face by a rattle snake yesterday in Western Montana. They were 1 mile from the truck when this happened, but he made it back to the truck and to the vet that has taken care of him over the years. He was given anti-venom and placed on IVs. He made it through the night, but his head is badly swollen, and he is in great pain. They are trying to feed him soft foods. You won't find a sweeter dog than Teal . I am praying for Teal and Alan that he pulls through this terrible event. Yes, I believe in the power of prayer. An aside, Alan hunts grouse this time of year in the high country, as rattle snakes do not usually venture up that far. This was an exception. 5 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smudge ★ Posted September 2, 2021 Share #7 Posted September 2, 2021 I'm staying positive that since he made it a mile after the strike and is still hanging in there he will come out of this ok. 🤞 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just like there's a difference between an over-designed platform for storing fire wood and a pre-manufactured shed. Differences... differences.

sheep_herder ★ Posted September 3, 2021 Author Share #29 Posted September 3, 2021 Thanks for your prayers and positive vibes. Alan is on his way to get Teal from the vet clinic, and they should be home by 7:00pm. Here is a photo of Alan and Teal taken on one of our goose hunting//photo shoots. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
