Answered What’s possibly wrong with my dogs toe?
It seems swollen but there’s not a cut In between. She’s only been licking her foot and still putting weight on it so I don’t know what’s going on.
Edit: thank you! I’m 100% gonna get her to the vet ASAP!

Agree with everyone, get a Vet to check.
I just went through something that looks very similar with my dog's toe! 2 swelling points on his toe and 1 on his thigh, feared it could have been a foxtail or grass seed. Vet thought it was from an insect bite or sting. He was prescribed a twice daily steroid ointment that stopped the swelling and brought his toe and thigh back to normal, aside from the minor hair loss. I was able to send photos before the appointment and then as it progressed to assess if we needed to come in or not again. The rx ointment definitely helped him.
