I hope he gets sorted.
Not looked round the yard to see what type of snake is about?
Identification is key afaik.
It's a big, permaculture type yard, around half an acre.
We have 8 types of fruit trees, and vines, flowers, veggies etc along with ponds etc
There are definitely rat snakes, flying tree snakes, red necked Keelback that we have seen
Actually my kids have, I'm pretty sure, rescued the same red necked Keelback from this dog twice over recent months.
We don't kill snakes in my household
But anyhow, tough little fucker is a rescue who has so far beaten: parvo, distemper, tick bite fever, snake bites x 2 along with ugly mange, worms and other parasites
Lucky for him, he's fully vaccinated against stuff that he can he vacced against
