Yes, snake bite is what is probably most likely. The other possible causes that were brought up was a water borne bacteria. We were hunting in swampy areas the whole day. The vet said that it was not infection from a thorn, and that it could have been caused from severe bruising which in turn limited blood supply to the foot. He said the most common cause of an injury like this would be if a dog was to be caught in a leg hold trap or something of that nature. The loss of blood supply would cause the foot tissue to begin to die.
