Is there anything i can do besides just giving her the anti-flammatories and benadryl for her allergie??? any suggestions???
I don't think the swollen paw would have anything to do with allergies. Has the swelling gone down? I would soak her foot in Epsom salt and warm water at least three times a day and try to keep her from using it. I would be concerned that maybe some vein or muscle got twisted or pinched when the knee came out and went back in.
