My dog is collapsing, moaning, and having spasms. Is it a snake bite?

Question

My tiny daschund acted sick 3 days ago with some blood noted in her right ear and mouth. The next day she appeared to possibly be snake bitten. She had a some blood running from her hip area on her left side, her left eye was pertruding out a bit and her neck swollen and hanging and she appeared thinner and bonier. Today she was up moving around the yard and ate a little food. Now tonight she is falling down and collapsed on the porch with muscle spasms and moaning. We gave her a shot of penicil.

This is a medical emergency, and Princess has to see a vet now. You cannot treat this at home, and if you leave her like this, she could die. Please take her into an ER vet clinic; if there isn't one in your area, there will be a vet on call for emergencies. The information to reach that vet is found on a clinic's answering machine or website.
