My lab looks like she got bit by something. Punctures are about an inch apart. I shaved the area and marked the two punctures to monitor swelling. She’ll prob lick them off. She’s not limping or favoring the leg in anyway. Can’t tell any swelling happening. Not sure when it happened I was at the ranch this weekend. Just noticed when she jumped up in my lap when I got home. We live just on top of lake grapevine in flower mound and I’ve seen a couple of copper heads so could be a snake bite. I’ve never had a dog bit so just making assumption. Vet seemed to think it could be a dry bite when I called them. Dog would be visible hurting if envenomated. Just curious if anyone has had experience and any sage advice to offer.

So far no swelling or favoring the leg at all. Fortunate looks to be a dry bite and she wont have any issues other than the pain that bite felt like.
