My dog, Bentley, age 3, has been biting and licking the top of his front foot, which became swollen. The swelling reduced slightly with a cold cloth. There are no changes in his eating, drinking, defecating, or urinating, and no underlying medical conditions or medications. The foot has a small amount of blood when cleaned and appears normal otherwise. What could be causing this issue, and what immediate steps can be taken to alleviate his discomfort?

My dog ate raw salmon. Should I make him throw up? It did not have bones. The dog, Zeppelin, is 5 years old, weighs 60 lbs, and ate a small frozen fillet with skin about the size of my palm a few minutes ago. He is a pughle puggle. Was this salmon for human consumption?
