Top of PAW Swollen

I will be putting better pictures up.

I had some technical problems with my computer. It deleted my original psot. I will be re-posting it later. I tried to delete this but it would not let me. I apologize for the wasted space.

I didn't get a chance to see a photo, nor do I see a description. Make sure you rule out a broken toe, as I understand it, that can have future complications--with movement, arthritis, etc. My 3 year old started our hunting season with a swollen top of the paw, which seemed to be over the middle 2 toes. Because I was concerned about a broken toe, and it was swollen for a week, we took her to the vet. He could find nothing wrong on the 2 xrays he took, nor palpation, and felt she had hyperextended a toe. Kept her out of the field from any hard running for 2 weeks, and she hasn't had a problem since.

Check very carefully for a thorn etc. first. Most common cause.
