Hello! My dog Braxton started limping the night before last and he has bad hips so I figured he had slept on it wrong. The next morning (yesterday) his paw was a little swollen. Today The swelling has gotten worse. It is starting to go into his ankle and the whole paw is extremely swollen. He does let me touch it.

Poor Braxton! His paw is quite swollen. It could be he severely injured it or it may be infected. He needs to see a vet now. The vet can diagnose what is causing and can treat it. I hope this helps!
