A successfully treated case of eastern brown snake (Pseudonaja textilis) envenomation in a Jack Russel Terrier dog is described with measurement of venom and antivenom concentration pre- and post-treatment. Early presentation, prompt administration of tiger-brown snake antivenom, hospitalisation and critical care monitoring lead to low morbidity and rapid recovery from a potentially fatal envenomation. Retrospective measurement of urine and serum venom and antivenom provided insight into the potential severity of the case and rapid efficacy of antivenom.
Potentially fatal brown snakebite cases may initially present with only mild clinical signs despite having high concentrations of venom and potential for fatal outcome. Prompt treatment with antivenom is essential to prevent the development of progressive and fatal coagulopathy and paralysis.
描述了一例成功治疗的东部棕蛇（Pseudonaja textilis）中毒病例，该病例为杰克罗素梗犬，对治疗前后的毒液和抗蛇毒血清浓度进行了测量。早期表现、及时给予虎斑蛇抗蛇毒血清、住院治疗和重症监护监测，使该犬的发病率降低，从潜在致命的中毒中迅速康复。对尿液和血清毒液和抗蛇毒血清的回顾性测量提供了对该病例潜在严重程度和抗蛇毒血清快速疗效的了解。
尽管毒液浓度高且可能导致致命后果，但最初表现出仅轻微临床症状的潜在致命棕蛇咬伤病例可能仍然存在。及时使用抗蛇毒血清治疗对于预防进行性和致命性凝血功能障碍和瘫痪至关重要。
