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.
