Dog acting strange after seeing a snake. Is it a snake bite?

If she was bitten by a poisonous snake, then it would be obvious by now. The first sign is a great amount of swelling at the site of the bite. It would also cause her to be very depressed and she may start to have dark red gums and blood in her urine. This would all be apparent by now. If she is acting fine and there is no swelling, then there's little need to worry. She may have been bit by a non- poisonous snake. If you see a bite mark, then it's important to flush the wound well with normal water for ten minutes once a day until healed. If you do happen to notice swelling at the bite area, or other signs of illness illness, then you should take her to the vet immediately for treatment. I hope that helps and all is well with Ivy.

Oh no, poor Trevor! If he was bitten by a Russell Viper, you would see extensive swelling and significant pain in the wound area. Given that it's been more than 24 hours and Trevor seems completely normal, I would suspect he hasn't been bitten by a viper. I would gently clean the wounds with warm water and antiseptic soap, and keep an eye on him. Monitor the wounds for redness, swelling, pus, and warmth to the touch, indications of infection. Should you see any of those signs, take him into the vet for antibiotics. If Trevor does develop any swelling, becomes lethargic, stops eating, and starts vomiting, I would take him into a vet right away. Hopefully, however, he will be just fine :-)

Is this the location where the envenomation occurred? There could still be residual swelling and gravity is taking it to the lowest place. Otherwise the skin could be becoming necrotic from the bite. I would recommend a follow up appointment with your veterinarian just to make sure that nothing serious is happening. I’m so glad he made it through that crisis! What a scare!

I don't know what type of research you did but i would not be able to tell by the bite if it is a venomous snake or not, i strongly recommend taking him to the emergency right away as a snake bite can easily be deadly within a few hours.

It could be, and that looks bad. Lady has to see a vet immediately. Please take her into an ER vet clinic; if there isn't one in your area, there will be a vet on call for emergencies. The information to reach that vet is found on a clinic's answering machine or website.

I am very sorry that Shiloh seems painful. It is possible a snake bite happened but I would say depending on the part of the country you live in this is not very common. It is possible that Shiloh has a soft tissue injury/pulled something while playing being a cattle dog I bet she is very active. I would recommend taking her to a vet if she seems uncomfortable. That way the vet can help detect where the pain is coming from and possibly start her on pain medications if needed. You can confine her to cage rest and limited activity for a few days too to help her recover.

If it was a poisonous snake, then it would cause a great deal of swelling, so I wouldn't worry too much about a dangerous snake bite. There are some nonvenomous snakes there that can bite and cause pain, but they are usually not that bad. I would suspect that something else could be causing the pain. It could be an injury to a muscle, tendon or ligament. It may be OK to wait a couple of days to see if it gets better. If Rocky is otherwise acting normal and you don't see swelling, then it likely won't hurt to wait it out. It really depends on the injury though and it's difficult to know without seeing Rocky. In the meantime, you can ice the sore leg for 15 minutes twice a day. This may help.
