Cover Story: Snake envenomation of domestic dogs is common and often fatal, but clinical signs, as well as the diagnostic procedures and treatments, are poorly described. Of 230 cases, detailed case data were provided from 20 dogs; 65.0% were envenomated during daytime, with collapse and paresis being the most common signs. Clinical signs were the sole diagnostic modality utilised in 30.0% of cases. Activated clotting time was the most common diagnostic procedure, while snake venom detection kits were only used in 15.0% of cases. About 82.4% of the dogs treated with antivenom recovered, whereas only 33.3% of the dogs not treated with antivenom recovered. Overall, veterinarians relied frequently on medical history, clinical signs, and diagnostic tests other than the SVDK and thus, most likely, administered snake envenomation treatment based on their clinical experience.
