How long does a goat have to live if they were bitten by a poisonous snake?
Today my brother went to check on the goats and the all were doing just fine. Then my mom just went back and two were dead and it had only been like 5 hours later. So the only thing i can figured is it got bitten by a poisonous snake. So Im trying to figure out how long it would take if that did happen?
Depends on the snake and the strength of their venom. Anywhere from a couple minutes to a couple hours. Look for a puncture wound, (most likely on a leg or the belly)
really depends on what kind of venomous snake. . . different things to different venoms Thurs the body. a rattlesnake bite if left untreated could certinally (sp) kill something in under 5 hours. look over the goats from head to toe and see if you find any bite marks at all
probably an hour or so with most common venomous snake sorry about the goats
First, it depends on the snake. Secondly, goats usually have a stronger tolerance to snake venom than humans. I know a family who lives out in rattlesnake country and they own pygmy goats. Their goats have been bitten by western diamondback rattlers a few times and always survived without medical treatment. So, rattlers and other snakes venomous North American usually do not kill really quick like some snakes from other parts of the world. So I’m thinking you should not place the blame on snakes unless you know for sure. I’m thinking it could be something else. I just find it odd for the two goats to both at the same time and in a short period of time. There are other possibilities, disease, some punk kids with a gun, coyotes, extremely hot weather, etc.
That would depend upon the snake and the size / weight of the goat.
I think you should listen to madsnake. . . . .
