I just noticed this red swollen area on Lina’s paw. Not sure if it’s a bite or allergies, or injury of some kind.

Unfortunately there is no picture attached to your post (we've been having problems with pictures showing up in posts and consults, the tech team is working on it), so I can't see what this swollen area looks like on Lina's. You are right it could be from a bite, allergy, or injury. Even if I could see a picture, I can't make a diagnosis without seeing her in person so I recommend getting it checked out by a vet. The vet can diagnose what is causing it and can treat her. If possible, I'd take her into a vet this weekend. I hope this helps!
