Well, that didn’t take long. About two weeks after her last run-in with a poisonous snake, she did it again.

Not the sharpest knife in the drawer is Maya.

Apparently Andrea heard the dogs barking and called them in. She saw a small swelling on Maya’s lip but the dog seemed fine and ate her dinner. By the time I got home that evening the swelling had gotten much worse, so it was off to the 24-hour vet once again.

I took the above picture (sorry about the mobile phone quality) where you can make out how swollen her mouth is as well as a bit of that wonderful drool that accompanies these bites. After a couple of shots she’s out for the night and pretty much fine again in a couple of days.
