Hopefully your dog will be feeling better today Roger. Is a garter snake the same as a common water snake? If so, I've never heard of a dog getting sick from one. We have water snakes in our back yard too, always seem to find them around our garden beds or in them. Years ago, I was tubing down the Weber river, when it was low, got into the mossy area and felt something on my shoulder, thought it was moss but I looked and it was a water snake, inches from my face, needless to say I stood up really quick.
