i was deer hunting in south dakota one time, late october i think, with temps in the low 30's and snow on the ground.  long story short, my buddy scared the heck out of me by handing me a live baby rattlesnake.  He was real cold and lethargic, but alive. given enough time he may have been able to bite, i don't know he wasn't in my hand long enough to do much.  if one could be out and about in the snow, i don't know why one couldn't be out down here.  hope your dog gets better.  could it also be a cactus or mesquite thorn?
