Sheriff Harley here with another member of my
“Top Ten Most Unwanted”! So growing up I loved
the band, “The Scorpions”, they really played
some heavy rock-n- roll but since I have moved
into law enforcement my tastes are more towards
classical music. It calms me down but what gets
me fired up is outlaws. Here is another bandito
that you need to be careful of. They do not play
music but have a wick sting. Do not approach.
scorpions
A.K.A:
Bark Scorpion
Last seen:
Outside at night during warmer
summer months. Inside your house all year round.
Danger:
Scorpion venom contains enzymes
which are very painful.
Prevention:
Supervise dogs on night walks.
Hard to prevent if scorpions are in your home.
Treatment:
Watch animal for signs of
drooling, swelling at site of sting, tremors,
breathing problems, dilated pupils and acting
painful. If pet does not improve, take to your
veterinarian. Do NOT give your pet any
medication from home! Seek veterinary care!
