Abstract | Snake envenomation is relatively common in small animals, particularly in endemic areas. Effects and outcomes of envenomation during pregnancy are poorly described in humans and more so in veterinary patients. Two young pregnant female dogs presented to a university teaching hospital with a history of acute soft tissue swelling and bleeding. History, physical examination findings, and diagnostics were consistent with envenomation by crotalid snakes. Medical management of one of the dogs included administration of antivenin. Both dogs survived envenomation with minimal complications and went on to whelp without complications, and all fetuses survived. This is the first description of the management of pit viper envenomation in pregnant dogs. |
