Reply to Animal Eyes's Post: Yes, only one part of his paw was swollen(where it was infected), then went down. With in one day, his entire paw is swollen. Should I bring him to the vet?
Thank you for your response and concern.

Sincerely,

Answer

Yes I think you should take him back to your vet. There may be a foreign body in the foot. Since the antibiotics helped, it may be that he needs to be on a longer course to clear this up. If it returns at the end of the next round then I think you should ask for xrays to be done if none have been done to this point. I hope he's better soon.
