<p>[QUOTE=&quot;yourturntoloveit, post: 27961, member: 57&quot;]About 15 months ago our older dog (Good Boy) came in from outside one hot summer afternoon.&nbsp; When he came in I noticed that one side of his face in the cheek area looked swollen.&nbsp; Checked his teeth and they were all there andin fine shape.&nbsp; He didn&#039;t seem to be in pain/distress but we rushed him to the veterinarian anyway because the swelling was increasing.</p><p><br /></p><p>Vet swabbed off the cheek area and found slight traces of blood which DH and I had not seen on the cheek because it is covered in black fur.&nbsp; Vet immediately said &quot;You&#039;re going to be looking for a 3-foot copperhead.&quot;&nbsp; (Vet kept Good Boy on intravenous fluids and pain meds for 24 hours)</p><p><br /></p><p>Here&#039;s the photo of what the vet described exactly.&nbsp; &quot;This&quot; was hiding under the steps to the back porch where we (and the dogs) go in and out all of the time. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/eek.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":eek:" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
