• Rattlesnakes are active: four dogs from Cañoncito were bitten by rattlesnakes on Tuesday.  If you have a dog, that’s bitten, both Salazar and Taos Vet have anti-venom.  If it’s after hours, Roadrunner emergency vet in Algodones is your only choice.  There is a fabulous Facebook group “national snakebite support“ where 24/7 you can post questions and receive online guidance and support.  Click here for the bite protocol they suggest and they take this information with you to the vet.  Often the vet will administer Benadryl and antibiotics.  Neither one is useful.  Neither are steroids.
