snakebite on cat

[Angela Norris]

My cat was bitten by a poisonous snake two days ago. She went to the vet, received antibiotics, steroids and an IV, and pain medication. I’m sure there is a poultice of some type she needs to help the bite. She was bitten on the neck. She can’t walk much without falling over. she mostly sits (she is in a crate). she will not eat or drink. she is about 5 months old and weighs 6 1/2 lbs. I am concerned about her dehydrating.

Have you considered Echinacea?  I believe there is a post in the blog about “snake oil”.  I am pretty sure I have heard Doc Jones refer to it in a number of videos.  I hope this helps.

Thanks Paige, I read it, but I don’t know if it can be used on cats. or what or how to do anything.

Hey Dr. Jones – I think we have a feline emergency here that only you can best answer.  Perhaps you could give Angela some guidance for her little fur baby!

How is kitty today Angela?

At the very least maybe you could use the tincture in a spray bottle and apply it to the site.  I hope your baby is doing better.

Hi Angela,

Sorry about the slow reply, just saw this one. If you have a time-sensitive question shoot me an email or call me.

All of my formulas are safe for dogs or cats or livestock.

Venom and sting formula internally and topically is perfectly safe for cats. Have a look at the Venomous Bites & Stings Lesson too. Hope kitty is ok.

Don't use herbs or combine herbs with medications or use them during lactation or pregnancy without talking with your healthcare provider.

Hi Angela – I hope your kitty is OK! We have a LOT of rattlesnakes here and I am super excited to be able to learn how to handle snakebites.

Hope your kitty is ok Angela, my neighbor just lost her dog from a rattlesnake bite yesterday (with vet care). I wish I would have known and found Dr. Jones’ remedy sooner. Definitely one I am keeping on hand.

Wish you the best.
