I ended up giving him a temperil p that I had here. This is the second emergency that I have used this medicine for in the past two weeks.
I asked the ER vet I was speaking with if he thought it might help any inflammation and reduce his body's reaction to whatever it was. He checked to make sure no interactions with his other meds, and He seemed to think if it didn't help, it wouldn't hurt. This did seem to help, and he is seeming better as the day goes on.

Interesting you describe the bite area in that way. Read this:

If your dog is bitten by a snake, there may be no cause for concern, as the majority of snakes are nonpoisonous. The bites of harmless snakes show teeth marks in the shape of a horseshoe, but there are no fang marks.
