The snake was identified as a four-foot-long western diamondback rattlesnake, a poisonous snake found throughout the southwest. Doctors gave Emily nearly 40 doses of anti-venom as they used marker pen to track the alarming pace at which the snake poison traveled up her leg towards her abdomen. After nearly 40 doses of anti-venom, doctors were able to stop the snake poison from going pass her abdomen. However, with one vial of anti-venom costing $1,500 to $2,200, Emily's family is now facing another challenge - medical costs. Her family does not have medical insurance and have launched a GoFundMe page to help pay for Emily's medical costs.
