Don't do it. This is nothing new. We tried this back in 88 on the King Ranch after the manager read some article on snake bite. We lost several dogs per year to snake bite.
The camp bought stun guns for every guide truck with instructions to apply it at the snake bite. One guide did just that on a high dollar field trial dog. The dog dropped to the tailgate when they shocked him. When he got to the vet he was pronounced dead and appeared to have died from electric shock.
We quit using them because it does not work. 2 cc of cortisone in the muscle is as good as you are going to do. 2 cc of antihistamine in the muscle in addition is good but it has to be kept refrigerated but cortisone does not. I use 2 benedryl.
