According to the vet in Homedale, Idaho where we took Lucy, dogs frequently die six months or more after an untreated snake bite due to progressive organ damage. We had him do an anti-venom shot it was expensive but we considered it cheap insurance. He also told us about a vaccination that can been given dogs in snake areas that helps if they are bitten. He said he never had a dog die that had been vaccinated, and he treats a lot of snake bit dogs.
