I go hiking with Stella almost every other day and now that it is gettin warmer the rattlesnakes are coming out. I plan to take her to a rattlesnake class very soon (I think it's in mid April). We stay on the trail and her she has a strong "come" as well as "leave it". But I want to know if there is anything I can do if she does get bit. I only weight 15 pounds more than her so there is no way I can carry her. I take Benadryl with me in case of a bee sting, but is there anything like that for snake bites?? I heard there is a rattlesnake vaccine, anybody know anything about that? People have been posting pictures of rattlesnakes at mission trails lately and I'm just getting sort of freaked out. And does anybody know what time of the day id be less likely to encounter one?
