How can you tell if your dog was bitten by a snake? There's no blood. I just saw a small gray snake in my backyard and my dog had been around that area. She was looking at the ground weird and then turned around and went to the door to go inside without going potty. I'm not sure if she was bit by it or not. Or what kind of snake it is.

When a dog gets bitten by a snake, the area where it was bitten will quickly swell and you can find 2 puncture wounds near each other. if you find those on Milly you will need to take her to the vet urgently for treatment.
