The stun gun deal does not work. We had them in every truck in south Texas because of an article in gun dog magazine. One of the handlers had a really great young dog hit by a rattler and hit him with the stun gun and he dropped like he had been shot. The vet said he looked like a dog that was suffering from electrical shock. He died.

What has worked for me on several occasions is 2 cc of cortosone and 2 cc of antihystimine. The cortosone does not have to be refregerated but the antihystimine does. Give them some benedryl if you don't have it. They treat them for infection in 2 or 3 days.
