If you suspect that your dog has been bitten by an adder, you should take them to your vet immediately. An untreated adder bite can result in a dog becoming dehydrated, having tremors as the venom spreads around their body, and can progress to organ damage if the reaction is severe enough.

While bites are not particularly common, they can happen.

Things to look out for if your dog may have been bitten include pain and swelling at the bite site (normally on the face or lower limbs), marked bruising and occasionally generalised weakness.
