Copperhead bite, can anything be done ?

Are you a trained toxicologist specialized in snakes bites? I have used benadryl to control swelling, not as an antivenom.
Nope, but I take advice from trained toxicologists who specialize in snake bites. Specifically Spencer Greene who is the leading snakebite toxicologist in the United States, who does not recommend benadryl for snake bites as a treatment. I do also have professional and educational expertise in reptiles, especially snakes.

Do they work with birds as the victims?
 
One of my ducks just got bit by a copperhead. Is there anything I can do ?
If you want to ask questions to veterinarians trained in snake bites, there is a group on Facebook called National Veterinary Snakebite Support. They can answer all of your questions thoroughly and efficiently.
 
Dr. Brandehoff along with DR. Greene is a leading snake bite toxicologist.
What organization? Based on website sources are private or NGO's looking for money.

Information needs to be relevant to a poultry keeper. No one, not even the Benadryl link provided is giving information I trust for birds. Dosage provided suitable for humans, not even mammalian pets.
 
We lost a Rouen a few weeks ago to suspected snakebite. The one today was about a hour ago and I have no doubt it’s a copperhead. Give me a minute and I can go take a pic .

Why are you ducks getting into snakes so much. My dogs search the snakes out. Chickens and Osage Copperheads here can generally avoid each other even though they have serious range over lap where chickens forage.
