First vet for GSP said adult snake based on the fang marks. Emergency vet said 2 puncture wounds on the yorkie, that looked like a small snake. Wonder if the yorkie got bit twice with just 1 fang or something.

We do have timbers, and have had a dog bitten by one before. I lean toward moccasin since it was down by the pond.

Sorry to hear all this.

I have two shih tzu's in the Gonzales area and I've seen snakes in my yard, so I need to do a better job looking out for them.

Check in the morning hours after the sun is out and it’s starting to heat up. Cottonmouths like to bask in the sun this time of year - the water is still a bit cool so they need to bring their body temperature up. In the spring they often bask away from the water’s edge too - I find plenty of mine 10-20 feet away from the water this time of year. Whereas in the heat of summer I catch most at the water’s edge.
