I think he was bitten by a snake. He was missing for two days and all I saw was blood on my porch and now he has come back home with a swollen leg and a puncture mark. He has what appears to be a cut on his paw but the swelling makes it hard to see. He is a feral cat that I have been taking care of since he was 8 weeks old but I don’t want to get bitten by trying to examine it too much. He has never allowed me to pick him up for more than a minute and I don’t want to hurt him or run him off. He is eating and drinking as usual.

My cat has got with a snake bite during his outdoor visit last night, but we didn’t notice it for 6 hours . When his symptoms starts to emerge we are afraid and called a veterinarian to treat him.She instructed to provide him amoxicillin oral suspension and some other few antibiotic tablets initially,then after 2 hours of time our kitty was injected with common antiseptic doses since to provide antivenin we don’t know which type of venomous snake has bite it . Now the kitty started recovering process but I just want to know whether the physical anomalies in his face ,eyes and lips would be back to normal feature after recovery.please do mention about the healing process in step by step manner Thankfully Shobanapriya

one of our house cats got bit by a snake on 8/15/2018. her entire face was swollen and under her neck as well, neither of her eyes would open. she also has bites on her legs and what looks like claw marks on her chest. No idea what type of snake it was or where she was when she got bit, I am hoping the snake is not in the house. Anyway we took her to the vet and he gave her a shot and sent her home with oral med that she is to take. How would I know if it is a rattle snake or not? and why does she have so many bite marks ? one bite was on her neck, one is on her face under her eye and one is on her leg..I thought she got into a cat fight

A stray cat showed up a few months ago and we decided to keep it. However it now how a large welt under his chin and on his chest. Were not sure what its from or if its a snake bite. We dont have any vets around us otherwise we would have already taken him. What could cause a large welt like this? Its not like a swollen bump its more of a raised welt .

My cat was bitten by a copper head snake last week and was at the vets for 4 after being given anti venom and fluids she has been fine for 3 days but has now got symptoms of a cold running nots sneezing and watery eyes. Should I be concerned?

Two months ago my 10 year old cat was bitten twice by a pygmy rattlesnake. I killed the snake and I'm sure in was a pygmy rattler. My cat took off running and I never expected to see him again but he showed up about 36 hours later. He seems fine eats, plays, ect except he's gone from normal health weight to bone skinny. He stopped losing weight but can't seem to gain any back.

Our young cat had displayed extreme fatigue, initially, and we thought he’d gotten sick. Then swelling began in the collar area, and became quite noticeable. He regained his energy and seemed to be improving in spite of the swelling. Then we found blood on his fur, and the ground in our house. This was when there were two very noticeable and distinguished fang marks. Too large to be a spider, but here in eastern Washington, there are few known species. So it’s hard to tell which might have done so.

My cat Pete who is 1 year old was bitten on his front leg by a copperhead snake. His leg was really swollen and clear liquid was oozing from the puncture wound. He was panting and staggering around. He was so scared that even in his condition, my husband and I couldn't catch him to take him to the vet. 12 hours later he came home to eat and I was able to catch him. We immediately took him to the Emergency Vet which thankfully is close to our home . Because so much time had passed, the vet felt ok with not giving him the antivenin. She said sometimes the antivenin can cause severe reactions and he seemed to be doing well enough without it considering it had been 12 hours. He was given pain meds and an antibiotic injection. He made a full recovery but his personality has changed since this incident. It's like he has split personalities. One minute he's scared of me like he's never seen me before and the next minute he's winding around my legs wanting me to pet him. He's sometimes aggressive with my other cats also.
