Rattlesnake Season
Rattlesnake season is right around the corner and time to take precautions to protect your furry friend. The rattlesnake vaccine is specifically designed to produce antibodies against the venom of the western diamondback rattlesnake. The vaccine may also be effective against other snakes with similar venom, such as the sidewinder, timber rattlesnake, and copperhead. Initially, a dog should receive two subcutaneous doses about 30 days apart. Dogs over 100 lbs or under 25 lbs may benefit from a three dose initial series. Side effects aren’t common with this vaccine but can happen and can be mild and need no veterinary care. Due to the increased interest by pet owners and the prevalence of snakes in this area, Express Vet NM is now offering this vaccine. To schedule an appointment for the vaccine please call 505-508-4527 or online at expressvetnm.com.
