My dog got her front right paw shut in a very heavy door and now she is limping she is putting down but is lifting it when she is walking she lets me touch and there no bones that feels like it out of place it not swollen as far as I can tell. What can I do to help her. Her name is Diamond she 7 months not neutered too young up-to-date with her jabs and she's not on any medication. What can I do to help her or to make her feel comfortable

There isn't much you can do to help her since there aren't any over the counter medications that are safe to give her. In humans, we would do RICE - rest ice compression and elevation. But those are hard to make a puppy do. So try to keep her from running or jumping, and use a bag of frozen peas wrapped in a thin towel for 10-15 minutes several times a day.
