Mya the dalmation has been in the news around here a lot lately. She got bit by an Eastern Diamondback rattler over in Hendry County, her people drove her down to an animal hospital in Broward County, and Capt. Al Cruz, head of the Dade County Fire Department's anti-venin unit, drove up from Dade County with the anti-venin to save her life.
Everyone's been very concerned about her, but the vet says she got treatment in time and will pull through.
Captain Al Cruz of the Miami-Dade Fire Rescue Antivenin Unit watches Dr. Brian Roberts hang half of the second run of snakebite antivenin for Mya, a 2-year-old Dalmatian that was rushed from Clewiston to the Animal Medical Center in Cooper City after being bitten by a rattlesnake Sunday.
