My wife and I were out at our weekly Bible study. Just getting ready to eat. My cell phone rings and it is my daughter.
She says there is something wrong with her kitten, Nyoko. He is running around throwing up and his paw is swollen. She is starting to get scared at this point. She is watching the rest of the group's children in our home.
I tell her I'll be home in 10 minutes.
On the way home the phone rings again. She says she knows the reason why the kitten is acting strange.
There is a snake in the garage. (the garage door to the house is open as there is a nice breeze)
I tell her to shut the door and keep the other kids out of the garage.
As soon as I get home and step into the garage, I see a mangled snake on the floor. All I know at that time is it is some type of viper by the shape of its head.
OH CRAP!!!!!!!!
Grabbed the carrier and told her to put her cat in. I scooped up the snake in an empty cat litter pail because it had a lid.
Off to the emergency animal clinic I go. I think there was at least 2 red lights that I actually did stopped at. :whistling:
They get the kitten right in and verify that the snake I brought with me is indeed a pygmy rattlesnake.
They kept him overnight after administering the anti-venom, some other fluids and some pain killer.
Wife picked him up this morning and took him to our vet. They want to keep him for observation today and possibly do some blood work.
*They just called and he is doing file. They have had him on fluids and want to start him on anitbotics.
He is one tough little guy. Not to mention, now the most expensive cat I've ever owned. :0
My wife didn't think it was too funny when I asked the ER clinic for the snake back. It was still barely alive. (No, I didn't really want it.)
"BEHOLD, NYOKO THE SERPENT SLAYER" as I proudly hold him up.

He's the black and white one on the left. His brother on the right was my Father's Day present. Funny how the wife and daughter worked that into their plan.
