  • Title: Snakebite in the horse.
    Author: Fitzgerald WE.
    Journal: Aust Vet J; 1975 Jan; 51(1):37-9. PubMed ID: 1164270.
    Abstract:
    Four cases of snakebite in horses are presented. Diagnosis was made on clinical signs in all, plus fang punctures in 2 cases. Tiger snake antivenene was used in the treatment of 2 patients and these recovered rapidly. Of the 2 in which antivenene was not used, 1 severely affected horse died. The clinical signs which were observed were those of progressive general paralysis and were entirely referable to the neurotoxic component of the venom.
