I grew up in South Africa, and when I was a kid my parents dog chased down a cobra (we think) who spat in her eyes. My parents tried flushing her eyes with milk. Does milk actually help neutralize the venom or did it not help at all?

(PS She lived until 16 years pretty happily but was blind after the incident)

Idiot was a tad harsh. I do agree with you though. The snakes thinking the same thing about us, we came into THEIR house. Not the other way round right?

I should probably give more context, this happened out on my father's farm in Limpopo province. It's very rural, so snakes are common. This is the same location where the neighbors dog got eaten by Monty, the Python that lives down by the river.

I was raised with a "Don't mess with it and it won't mess with you" mentality. The dog did chase the snake under the foundation of a building on the property, so, well... She was kinda asking for it. For the most part we don't have issues with them because they tend to stay away.

I didn't think the milk did anything! I'll let my folks know thank you!
