Matilda

Matilda got bit by a rattlesnake.   Unfortunately not joking :-(  She ran into a ditch after something,  I went to see what she was after and saw (and heard) the rattles.  I brought her to the the RV and saw the blood on her lip. Her face started swelling.  She is at the vet in Malibu, Ca with iv painkiller, antivenom, etc. No guarantees but good chance she will be OK. Vet is optimistic.  Matilda got the antivenom less than 1/2 hour after the bite.
