Yikes! Is he OK?

Yes, he's fine. Took him to the vet immediately, only to find out that most vets don't even keep snake bite venom. I was told that it doesn't really help dogs much anyway. He was damn miserable that night though, his face was very swollen and hurting. He moaned quite a bit. I stayed up with him all night to make sure his throat didn't swell shut. The vet told me that was really the only thing to worry about. The very next night, you couldn't even tell he was bit. It was amazing how quickly all the symptoms disappeared.

I had a dog pick up a jelly fish, his face was swollen, called the vet and was told to give him a half a benadryne.
Next day he was a right as rain.
