Dog’s broken paw vs dog’s sprained paw
Kitkit asked:

I think my Chinese pug broke her paw but it might be a sprain because it looks like she can put a little weight on it.It is swollen though and kinda just hangs there when she wobbles around.

Dog’s sprained leg

So earlier, I went outside and came back in only to see my dog just sitting there in the corner. When he finally got up to walk his front paw was raised in the air and seemed hurt.. He wouldn’t walk on it at first, but now he’s running, jumping on the couch and going up and down the stairs, but there still seems to be pain there, and he still raises it in the air.. I made an appointment with the vet for the next available appt, but do you think I should wait, because it seems to get better as time goes by.. What’s your opinion?

He’s a 1yr old Bichon Frise.

Dog’s allergy

My dog had a sprain in his leg and the Vet gave me liquid Metacam (meloxicam) , it’s an anti-inflammatory. The first day I gave it to him, I noticed him licking his paws. Then I skipped a day. Then I gave it to him again and he was licking his back paws all day and night. I took him for the same amount of walks he normally gets but short ones as the Vet told me and he was fine. Then he started licking his back paws again. This time when he was licking them, I heard him cry a little so I took a closer look and this is what I saw:

It’s not bleeding. It just looks like it was inflamed and he was chewing.
Do you think it’s an allergic reaction to the anti-inflammatory? Or did something get in his paw. There is nothing there right now, I looked closely but this one paw is raw and pinkish. :( I will need to take him to the Vet tomorrow. And of course I’m not giving it to him anymore. For now.
Thanks for your help
I put an E-collar on him so he doesn’t chew it for now. :(
