Re: [RC] Snakes - JUDYK89

Okay, according to the brochure (I just went out and got it)

Rattlesnake vaccines, by Red Rock Biologics

www.redrockbiologics.com

According to the brochure:

"Protective antibodies made by your dog in response to the vaccine start neutralizing venom immediately.  On average, antibody levels in recently vaccinated dogs are comparable to treatment with three vials of antivenom.  This means vaccinated dogs should experience less pain and a reduced risk of permanent injury from rattlesnake bite."

My bad, I said three or four vials.  I believe that is what the vet told me.  Maybe misinformation or maybe it depends on the bite or size of dog.
