Billy stayed at the vets, where he ended up needing surgery to get rid of the dead tissue which had been caused by the venom. They told me the adder bite was toxic and could kill him by causing organ failure, said Miss Prior. So I was really worried and feared he might be put down.

Billy was taken back and forth between the two vets and his home, having to be monitored overnight, but is expected to make a full recovery.
