European Adder Antivenom
別名: European Adder Antivenom, Vipera berus antivenom
If your pet is bitten by a snake, **keep them as calm and still as possible** and seek emergency veterinary care immediately. Do not attempt to suck out the venom or apply a tourniquet. Antivenom is the most effective treatment for severe bites, but it carries a risk of allergic reactions. Your vet will monitor your pet closely during administration. Recovery can take several days, and strict rest is essential.
劑量必須由獸醫按你寵物的個別情況決定。切勿在沒有獸醫指導下給予人類藥物或其他寵物的處方藥。
