Kanwarpal Singh Dhillon, Simran Jot Kaur and Sagar Ranjan

A six months old male Labrador pup was brought to the Veterinary Clinical Complex, Khalsa College of Veterinary and Animal Sciences, Amritsar with the history of snake bite, salivation, vomiting, dullness, dyspnea, abnormal gait, recumbency and edematous face. Pet owner brought the dead snake and identified it as Cobra. Fang marks noticed on the tip of nose and blood oozing from these marks. Hematology and biochemical investigation revealed neutrophilic leukocytosis with increased ALT level. Based on history and observation, the present case was confirmed as Cobra envenomation in a Labrador puppy. The pup was treated with polyvalent anti-snake venom along with tetanus toxoid, atropine sulphate, corticosteroids, antibiotics and fluid therapy. Area around the fang marks was dressed with povidine iodine. The pup had uneventful recovery from venom envenomation.
