She did recover however her paw basically ended up fubar'd.

Great post.

Your pictures remind me of the progression we saw in our lab when he got bit right on his forehead. It was gross when the flesh was rotting and flaking off, his head was really swollen for a few weeks. He did not require any surgery and we were told to pretty much leave it alone and leave it open to drain. The only medication was antibiotics for a while. I was told by many that he would get anti-venom shots, the vet said that they never do that.
It was a few months before it finally healed up to where no flesh was showing.
He also had a bite mark on his leg where the fangs ripped through the skin. That bite did not get any venom. The vet said the leg bite would have been worse if the snake had latched on.
It was my understanding that the forehead bite was common as dogs would face the snake. And that type of bite had a better survival rate as there was less blood flow on the forehead.
We had a cocker that was a lot smarter, she wouldn't go anywhere near a snake. She would run from a little ole grass snake.
Thanks for sharing the pictures. It is tough to keep our four legged buddies away from snakes.

Wish I could find pictures. We had a GSP bird dog that got hit in the leg. Snake trained and all.
Vet left anti-venom up to us. Too $$$$$$ and by the time we got to the vet he said it wouldn’t really help anymore anyways. Pushed fluids and meds overnight and he pulled through. But God that smell ..... that’s something you won’t forget.
Beautiful dog . GSP’s are really something.
