ShreyaAustralian Household Wreckers
Snakes are a common sight in Australia. They sneak into the house of people through water pipelines or from underground and are responsible for causing multiple deaths across the year. The particular snake found in the Svilicic garden, the Mulga is also known as the King Brown Snake because it is one of the longest and most venomous snakes. No one knows how long he had been planning his attack. Khan was on the brink of death…
Chances Of Survival
Khan had been paralyzed by the venom of this deadly snake. The only reason he was alive till now was that the snake could not manage to transfer a large amount of poison in the Doberman’s body. If it had transferred all its venom, Khan would have died on the spot. Still, the chances of his survival were not too great. He was already a weak dog and the snake bite was a dangerous event in itself.
So How Was Khan?
Now that they knew the cause of Khan’s condition, Catherine thought that doctors could easily treat it. But it was easier said than done. Catherine and the Svilicic family just kept praying for Khan to be safe and sound again. Just within half an hour of being into the emergency, Khan’s doctor came out only to find Catherine pacing the room, her face contorted into worrisome expressions.
State Of Desperation
She ran to the doctor as soon as she saw him coming out of the emergency and in a state of desperation asked him if Khan was going to be okay. The question occupied her entire being in those moments and she only wanted a positive answer to it. She wanted the doctor to reaffirm her hopes but the doctor did not give a very welcoming answer to Catherine.
The Treatment
The only solution to the venom that the snake transferred to Khan’s body was to administer its anti-venom in his body. The doctors did that and all else they could do. Now, there was nothing in their hands and this is what they told Catherine. It did not really give her hope but this the best she was going to get.
Doctor’s Take
The fact was that, after doing what needed to be done, even the doctors did not have a solid idea as to whether Khan would make it through the ordeal or not. This is what one of the doctors told Catherine.“We don’t know yet, madam. We did what we could, but now his body has to fight the poison,” he said. “The anti-venom will certainly help, but we don’t know to what extent. It’s best that you come back tomorrow morning.”
