Small brown and white dog named Cordelia with a swollen face from a snakebite is being treated in MedVet Asheville veterinary emergency room.

Saving Pets When Emergencies Strike

Cordelia came to MedVet Asheville with a copperhead snake bite. Our emergency caregivers administered antivenom, which is the best treatment to minimize swelling and reduce the severe complications that can result from the snake’s venomous bite. While the antivenom got to work, our team kept Cordelia comfortable with pain medications and monitored her condition closely. Cordelia went home healthy and healed!
