Tiger got bit by snake!

New Iberia, LA(Zone 9a)

Poor Tiger! We saw him last night, he was fine and playing. We left to go pick up my car from shop and came home. Later, we was checking on each doors to lock up for the night. I saw Tiger in the garage, asleeping in carseat. I told my DS to go and get him out of there and put him outside. He screamed and running carrying Tiger to me. I said what's wrong..

Tiger's left paw had been bitten. IT was horrible swollen. It's like third swollen size. It was 10pm last night. He was whimping like he's in pain. DH said feed him the tuna.. and not have any so we fed him the dog food can. We kept him overnight. THe fluid have been draining lots. I checked on him few times during nights to make sure he's OK. He didn't move at all and asleep peaceful.. This morning he got up and licking its paw often due draining. Yeah, he slept on DS's bed. His favorite place to sleep. OH well I have to wash the blanket.

RIght now, his paw look bit down swollen but we now see two holes where snake bit. I am so glad he's still ALIVE. We would have take him to the vet but due $$ so we watch him close. I told DH i afriad it might turn rotten.

I am wonderng if any if you have cats that got bit by snake. We don't know what kind of snake.. It look like big one since the bite holes look like one inche apart. DH thinks, it might be Copperhead snake or Water mossain? sp?

Here it was taken last night..
