Snakebite

While many snakes are non-venomous, rattlesnakes, copperheads, and water moccasins can cause painful tissue reactions, infection, or shock. Suspect a snakebite if:

	Extreme swelling and pain occurs suddenly, especially when it involves an extremity like a nose or a paw
	Fang-marks are found on the surface of such a wound (they may or may not be evident)

If you suspect a snakebite:

	Keep your Maltese warm and quiet
	Transport immediately to a veterinarian. Steroids and antibiotics are the mainstays of treatment. Antivenin is not readily available in most areas but fortunately is not usually necessary.
	Do NOT cut the wound and suck out the venom or apply tourniquets. These efforts may cause more harm than good.
