I loved this article. Very informative. Now if only we could address full body swelling which my horse suffered for several months last year. He looked like an overstuffed sausage. Poor guy.

Excellent article; especially the part on getting your vet involved immediately with snakebites. We ranch in rattlesnake country and one of the main concerns with a viper bite on the muzzle that must be considered is inserting tubes into the nostrils in a timely manner before full swelling in order to facilitate unobstructed breathing.

That really helped me out. I was riding one day on a trail and my horse spooked. Later on, we noticed it was a bee sting and was pretty serious. It was treated and when I saw this article, we checked around in those places where bees and other creepy-crawlies live. Now, we rarely see any spiders, bees, etc.

The Sting Operation really help me when my horse was stung twice by wasps. But the question is, should I do anything else if the site of the sting is on the throat?
