My dog's foot got stuck in door, painful but not swollen. What to do?

There isn't much you can do to help her since there aren't any over the counter medications that are safe to give her. In humans, we would do RICE - rest ice compression and elevation. But those are hard to make a puppy do. So try to keep her from running or jumping, and use a bag of frozen peas wrapped in a thin towel for 10-15 minutes several times a day.

Poor Rex! Unfortunately, there are no safe OTC medications you can give him, as many human ones are toxic to dogs and can be fatal if given. You can try soaking his paw in an Epsom salt bath to see if that helps with the swelling. If it doesn't, he will need to see a vet on Monday. He may have an infection in his paw or he could have a foreign body causing the swelling. The vet can diagnose what is causing the swelling so Rex can be treated.

You can't give him anything over the counter. If it just started you can let Tech rest for a few days with minimal walking and minimal physical exercise, if it does not improve within 3-4 days you will have to take him to the vet in order to get it checked and treated, he might need pain killers for a few days (prescription only). if the vet think it's something more serious such as a fracture, joint injury or foreign body, he might recommend to have an xray done as well.

Poor Walter! You are right that you should try to keep him off of it as much as possible, and I recommend resting him for the next 48 hours. No running, jumping, or playing. Take him out to toilet on a lead only, and bring him right back in when he's done. If he still appears painful after this time, then I would take him into the vet for an exam. The vet can diagnose where the pain is coming from, and can dictate a treatment plan for it.

Please do not give anything for pain unless it is specifically prescribed by your vet. The human pain relievers such as Tylenol, Motrin, Advil, Aleve, ibuprofen, etc. are all toxic to dogs. Just try to keep his movements to a minimum until he is checked by the vet.

That swelling may indicate something stuck under the skin and causing severe inflammation (like a piece of glass or a grass seed) or something like a broken toe. Less common would be something like a sprain. At home you need to restrict Olivia's activity so no walks, running or jumping. You also need to prevent any licking by having her wear an elizabethan collar. Unfortunately, there may not be much else you can do at home. You can apply a cool (not cold, just cool) compress 3 times a day for 5-10 minutes. If there is an infection or a break, this requires medical care. I recommend to play it safe and have Olivia examined by the veterinarian. Certainly, if she is continuing to limp after 2 days of rest or if she is getting worse, it's time to have her examined. This is the best course of action to accurately diagnose, treat and to make her feel better. I hope this helps and please feel free to post any additional questions.

Poor Chico! You can try soaking his paw in an Epsom salt bath. That can help with swelling. If his toe is still very swollen in the morning and/or he's still in a lot of pain in the morning, then he needs to see a vet right away. Please do not give him any human pain medications, as many are toxic to dogs and can be fatal if given.
