Cassandra
Thank you Dr Falconer. Yes Raphaela is living proof :-)
This snake bite learning had some twists and turns as R didn't get up until after we had her on the LIFE system and it was showing that she needed Arsenicum (poison remedy). She finally went out to relieve herself and when she came back in the swelling on the inside of her leg and the fang mark could be seen. Previously as she was lying curled up in her corner none of that was obvious. And she wasn't going to let me touch anything. I felt like a bad mom to not figure it out any sooner than I did.
Note I went to Albuquerque to see the movie A Dog's Purpose with friends (which is why I got home late). I had had an intuition to take Raphaela with me but didn't as it didn't make sense to take her and leave her locked up in my truck the whole time. Sigh. Another learning to listen to my intuition. I do recommend the movie.
