Un chien meurt après une morsure de vipère au Pays de Galles

Jo Bowen-Jones promenait son chien Baxter quand il a commencé à vomir.

Quelques minutes plus tard, il s’est effondré et ne pouvait plus se lever. Un passant a aidé à le transporter en voiture.

Les vétérinaires ont tout essayé mais Baxter est mort six heures après. Jo pense que c’était une vipère à cause de symptômes comme des saignements aux yeux.

Les vipères sont les seuls serpents venimeux du Royaume-Uni. Elles sont protégées par la loi.

Elles vivent surtout dans le sud et l’ouest de l’Angleterre et du Pays de Galles. En été, elles sont plus actives et dangereuses pour les chiens.

Les symptômes d’une morsure sont le gonflement, la fatigue et les vomissements. Jo conseille de garder les chiens en laisse dans les zones à risque.
