my dog front leg around his ankle is swollen pretty big.its not broke.whats a good way to help the swelling to go down.thanks

The swelling is a SYMPTOM - do you know what the CAUSE? I find it best to treat the causes and symptoms go away once the cause is removed. Good Luck!

i dont know the cause.it a sprang.the vet didnt know what cause it.i ran him one night the next the day he wouldnt stand on it and was swell twice it size.

We had that happen once. After searching and searching and still more searching, we found a splinter, a big one, embedded in the skin. Once that was removed, the area cleaned and disinfected, the swelling went down and he went back to being his normal ol self. We did give him an aspirin (wrapped in cheese) to help with the pain, and a course of
amoxicillin. Look close there may be something you're missing.
