If Snickers has a favorite treat you can try to lure her close enough to you to be able to pick her up. If she is small, you can also try to gently toss a blanket or towel over her to catch her. Most dogs will stand still and stop moving if there is a blanket over their head, in which case you can then pick her up safely to bring her to the vet.
