So Friday afternoon my husband was walking Tyson - he said he was peeing by a bush, then suddenly jumped, sat on his behind and started scratching. He said he got right up but then started limping a bit on his front right paw. He checked to see if he had gotten into any ant piles, had something stuck, etc, but nothing to be seen.
Friday night his paw started to swell up a bit, the bottom pad more than anything... so we administered benadryl, and did some soaks. We've been soaking everyday, giving benadryl, and applying gold bond powder.... but its still swollen! Now its more of just one toe swollen & the bottom center pad. I'll try and get pics today when I get home. We've checked in 100% and see nothing stuck, no cuts, etc. There is one area in question that looks like it could have been a bite? But not sure, something happened for sure since he jumped.... but no clue
Anyway - may main question is this - how long before we should be in to see the vet? No other signs of anything, he seems fine and can walk, just has a slight limp...? Hubby keeps saying to give it a couple of days... I'm the worried mama, so need someone to rationalize for me.
