Wow - sheer insanity!! I had a horse bitten by a rattlesnake a few years back. The vet initially said that horses were naturally resilient and the venom wold not impact him greatly. After 45 minutes, though,the horse was down and his leg was the size of a basketball (even with icing and cold water baths). The vet came out and, in the course of several hours, pumped eight bags of anti-venom into Moose. Total cost was just south of $1000.
