I wonder if it would've been a good idea to cut the dog's ear off? Just asking.

Hope the pup recovers.

I wonder if it would've been a good idea to cut the dog's ear off? Just asking.

Because I couldn't post the better article, details like this are left out and so the full story isn't apparent:

Dog in coma after saving owner from deadly snake The Courier-Mail

Initially Tess appeared to have won the battle, with the snake slinking off, but the snake's deadly venom soon took effect.

"I couldn't find a bite anywhere, and she was fine, so I thought I'd just keep an eye on her," Ms Palethorpe said.

"But a snake expert told me this happens, they get a high, it's like a drug and they get a high, then they just go bang.

"And she did, and by the time I put her in the car to go to the vet she was weeing blood."

Tess was bitten on the inside of the ear, and is now in the hands of Ms Palethorpe's regular vet after receiving an urgent dose of antivenene from an emergency clinic.

Hope the pup recovers.

Few animals deserve a full recovery and a Blessed life more than this dog.
