CHEYENNE, Wyo. – A man said he saved his dog's life after sucking venom from a rattlesnake bite out of the animal's nose. Bobby Jenkins said he began feeling ill after getting his dog, Tank, to a veterinarian. He went to the hospital and received a dose of antivenin.

In all, Jenkins needed four vials of antivenin at a cost of $3,500 per vial.

Meanwhile, Jenkins said his dog's head swelled up to three times its normal size. Tank had been bitten after running under some equipment on the family ranch.

The dog also received antivenin and both Jenkins and his dog have recovered.

What a brave man to save his dog's life. I commend him for his action and he is the dog's hero. :D
 
Sucking venom out of a dog's nose. Yuck. But good for him, even if it does remind me of a dirty joke about two cowboys. I won't tell it here but the punchline is, "The doctor says you're gonna die!"

I had no idea antivenin was so expensive!
