Egan wants all pet owners to be aware of the symptoms of snake envenomation in pets. 9News
The vet suspected Puppa could also have heat stroke and the decision was made to euthanise the dog when he showed signs of an incoming heart attack.
"It was going from 40 beats per minutes to 70 beats per minute, similar to cardiac arrest," Egan said. "We kept asking, 'How could he have died on a 20-minute walk?'"That's why we looked under his tongue and the whole underside was purple.Egan said the vet has not confirmed these are snake bites, but the owner is confident they are."We're not doing great, because we don't have much closure," she said.
"It's sort of like heat exhaustion; that rapid panting, collapsing, losing consciousness," he told 9news.com.au."A lot die because owners just don't realise they've been bitten."Gunter Glasser had a run-in with this baby eastern brown, removed from a rural Queensland school last week. Collett's comments come in the midst of "snake season", which typically runs from September and April.
Snake catchers have reported a surge in callouts for venomous hatchlings, which they say is common for late February and early March."Snake sheddings, poos, slide marks - they are all good signs," he said.
