What kind of snake ? My dogs get bit pretty often by copperheads and water mocassins. They kill every snake they see. Its usually not bad on a grown dog with some size. Theyll swell up real bad, but are usually over it in 3 or 4 days. You can give them milk, I dont know why but it seems to help. Or you can take it to the vet and get it a cortizone shot.

It was a rattler. She's a grown dog and about the vet I can't take her cause we don't have a vet that works nights.

Call your buddies and see if any of them have any dex. And then start on antibiotics.
Benadryl

Make sure you go and take the collar off of her. I've seen people get dogs bit and the bite didn't kill em, but they swelled up and choked to death.

Man, I just read your post. Kind of late but my cat gyp was bit by a cotton mouth the day she had pups. Called vet and was told to give
1 mg . of benadryl per pound of dog every 8 hrs. It has to be the pure benadryl the one with Diphenhydramine as its only ingredient. Vet also said not to cut or poke holes around bite to wait till it started draining ( the next day) to gently squeeze it with warm compress. The next day after bite vet prescribed Amoxicillin. She said this antibiotic was best for animal bite bacterial infections. The vet said more dogs have issue with the bacterial infection than the snake bite itself. I gave benadryl for 2 days and the amoxicillin for 7 days. She recovered nicely. Hope this helps.

My dog has been bitten by a rattler and he swelled up like a balloon but we were lucky he was bit in the head and not the foot. You can get a snake vaccine also at the vet.

We have had good luck with them bitten on the face/head area, all but one have lived I think its worse if they get hit anywhere behind the ribs. Seems more arteries veins back there to spread the venom. Got one bit in the bottom of the foot in his kennel!!   He pulled through! Good luck!! Jerryg |

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.

Thats good! Keep it clean and disinfected and don't stop the antibiotics too soon. |

didn't say it worked ever time lol but the reason it was in gun dog magazine is because it works ! the regular guns that will knock a human down is strong they make lower voltage guns just for dogs and humans . they are distibuted all over the amazon and south america just for snake and spider bites . the reason being they will nuetralize certain venoms and spider toxins . hard to get to a doctor in time in those places is the reason . it's been tested and proven to work . |

Halfbreed that's what I suggested only via pm, I was taught it in first responder school years ago in the event you come across a bad snake bite while off duty on a rual area
