A red, swollen bump on your dog's paw could be several things. It might be an insect bite (like a bee or wasp), a foreign body embedded in the paw (like a thorn or splinter), an interdigital cyst, an allergic reaction, or even an infection. Check the paw carefully for any visible foreign objects. If your dog is in pain, limping heavily, or if the swelling is rapidly increasing, veterinary attention is needed. Do not try to extract embedded objects yourself as you might push it deeper or cause more pain. This is an emergency - please take your pet to your nearest emergency veterinary clinic immediately.Clinically Approved Standard by Dial A Vet Veterinary Team
