Chloe was bitten by a rattlesnake. What are the chances? Anyway, she's okay and not going to lose any limbs. The snake bit her on the right front paw, and the vet thinks she pulled away fast enough so the snake didn't really get a good hold on her. But she did get enough venom to swell up the paw pretty badly and to make her sick.
The good news is that the vet in Blythe, CA. is open on Good Friday. The bad news is that the snake venom antidote is really expensive. They had to keep her overnight to inject the serum over a couple of hours. Hence the dollarectomy.
Those of us who travel with pets will understand why we pay through the nose to keep our furry companions well, and those who don't have pets won't understand, so no need explaining.
She'll be recuperating for a few days, so she won't know for a while that she's been grounded, at least in this location. I can't wait for the whining to start.

Poor little Chloe! Give her my best and I hope she feels better soon.
Poor baby! Both of you. I remember when Paul's Target got bit... that cost a pretty penny, too! We're in Pahrump now. We honked and hollered on the CB when we went passed Hi Jolly. Hope you heard us.
Hugs, Sharon
Oh my gosh, how scary! Poor Chloe and poor Brenda. Hope you're both feeling better.
Thank you for your thoughts.
Yes, Chloe is feeling better. Casey growls at her and smacks her on the head every so often, since she smells like the vet's office. And the whining has already started, big time. She wants out!!!
