My dog's leg is swollen after mass removal. Is this normal or urgent?

The swelling is very bad. You are correct to be concerned. I suggest you get him back to the vet ASAP to have the bandage removed and replaced. He is a lot of pain for sure which is why he is trying to bite. The fracture is unstable at this stage so you can't just take the bandage off and leave it like that. The vet should put on a full length cast that incorporates the foot. If you don't get this treated immediately the blood/nerve supply may end up being compromised to the foot. This is an emergency.

Yes, I would be a bit worried. I suggest you take him back to your vet for a recheck exam. It is hard for me to give advice without seeing the issue. As a sdie note, if he is having issues with the E-collar you can try switching to a softer E-collar like this one: ( https://www.petco.com/shop/en/petcostore/product/dog/dog-health-and-wellness/dog-ecollars/all-four-paws-tan-comfy-cone-5000727--1 ) Some dogs don't like the hard cones. If he needs a bandage then the vet can place one so that his foot doesn't swell. They may not want to do this as bandaging can cause moisture build up. You will need them to make that determination. Hope this helps. Best wishes.

Hello. I am sorry to hear about Maximus. It sounds like Maximus has a very severe infection and requires a visit to a veterinarian as soon as possible. Also, bandages that are not applied properly (too tight, over wet skin, not with pressure from bottom to top, etc) can very easily damage limbs, and it is possible to make your infection and swelling much worse, and in some cases an inappropriately applied bandage has led to amputation of limbs being necessary. I would recommend taking the bandage off and getting Maximus to a vet right away. If you can't go tonight, then get an e-collar to stop Maximus from chewing at the limbs, and bring him first thing tomorrow, but tonight would be better. Best of luck with Maximus!

Poor Blue. It's a bit hard to see in the picture, but it may be swollen. It may be best to take her back into the vet now to get it checked out. Give your vet a call to let them know you have some concerns about her leg.

Check the temperature of the affected leg. It should be approximately the same temperature as the other leg. If it is much cooler you need to take your dog to the vet for a recheck. If the temperature is similar you can rebandage the leg, but make sure it is not too tight. One way to awoid this is to put lots of padding around the leg before putting the previously unrolled and then rerolled sticky bandage on. It may also be a good idea to confine your dog to rest. You may have to rebandage the leg as soon as the swelling has subsided, as the bandage will loosen up. If the swelling does not go down within 24 hours, you will need to take Sterling to your vet for an exam.

The leash must be removed immediately to relieve the obstruction of the blood flow. If the leg is evidently distorted or broken or her foot is cold to touch she needs urgent vet care otherwise monitor for a reduction in swelling and discomfort over 12 hours or so

I would take him into a vet right away. It's concerning that his leg is now swollen, and the skin from his paws came off. If his leg looks white, I'm concerned about blood supply getting to that leg. It sounds like from your description he may have seriously injured himself, and in my opinion he needs to see a vet now. Please take him into an ER vet clinic; if there isn't one in your area, there will be a vet on call for emergencies. The information to reach that vet is found on a clinic's answering machine or website. Best of luck, I hope this helps!
