DId they have the snakebite shot from the Vet? I have seen dogs that have the snake bit shot get hit and do well after.

You need to get them on Benadril and then cordizone will get the swelling down and once that is done then they need to be on a strong antibiotic. Some vets have antivenum for spacific snakes but all of this needs to be done as soon as you can every minute makes a difference.
