Do the Aussie's remember Bwana Samaki? He wrote in the journal that a good remedy for snake bite was Vitamin C. 15mg injected under the skin (scruff of the neck) there was some evidence that it cured some animals and our vet said it wouldn't hurt. I made up some kits for our packs. It consisted of a syringe,large gauge needle and a bottle of vit C. Now if you don't believe this theroy, treat the bite as you would a human wrap it up and get it to a vet, if your to far from a vet start digging a hole. One thing to consider is that most snake bites on dogs will be around the face.

Our vet in Williamtown, conducted a week long course for us doggies, in which we discussed first aid, bullet wounds,snake bite,heat stroke etc. The day after my course finished the vet arrived at the section with a dead dog in the back of his ute. The dog had been bitten on the leg and the flesh around the bite was black and decaying. Basically he bought the dog out to give us a bit of a test. He asked us what snake had done the deed. Turned out to be a black snake!

As you would know, just because you've been bitten doesn't mean you've been envenomated.
