Sprain in Dogs paw

Question
My dog yelled.....Then did not use his right front paw.
The bones feel in place.
What do you suggest?...........I am far away from a vet.
THANKS Bill

Answer
Bill -

If you cannot get to a veterinarian, try to restrain him to decrease its activity until you are able to get have your dog's pay examined by a vet.

Keeping your dog confined is the best way to prevent further damage to the paw.   Please prevent your dog from running around until you are able to get help.
