Gracie's foot - all better now

[SQ]

Friday night I noticed that Gracie was unable to walk on one of her hind feet.
Gracie is a large girl probably around 1.5 years old.
Her foot is purple and swollen at least twice as large as her other hind foot.
I have been giving her medicam but the swelling has not come down any and is still a dark purple. Her leg does not appear to be broken.

Can try to get her to a vet tomorrow but imagine I will pay around $100 for nothing if I do :?

Any suggestions?

It's only been a couple of days, wait it out... swelling can take up to a week to come down even with metacam.
Can you start her on Baytril? If there's any infection, that will nip it in the bud asap.

Thanks jo.
Yes, I can start her on baytril .... medicating 14 others at the moment - 3 with heart issues ...
So I'll go dig out the postal scale and weight her so I can calculate the amount of meds she needs.
I also have clavamox, doxy and just picked up zithro from the drug store in preparation for the girl with the bad eye and respir. issues that Clark picked up for me at the end of last week.
