Take your dog to the vet. If you can't tell which,
definitely take your dog to the vet.
Antibiotics in animals are as bad as they are in us. In this case, giving antibiotics for the wrong thing will only help create stronger strains of potentially harmful bacteria. After taking microbiology and food tox, I'm a super freak about antibiotics only when you or your pet are in dire need.
If your dog was bit by a snake, the wrong antibiotics might make things worse. If that's not enough, it also won't help your dog recover, and your dog will suffer needlessly because you think you have the answers, when you don't.
So do your dog a favor and take him or her to the vet.
