I'm just at a loss for what to do. Her back foot is still so painful. Worse than her front ever was. Is swollen. Won’t even put it down. She’s just laying around miserable. Won’t even lift her head up. And she hasn’t peed now in 24 hours. Keep taking her out to try. All she wants to do is lay down in the grass which is wet. I’m just beside myself. She was fine the first day home. Now she’s just miserable

I'm sorry to hear this, but the rapid swelling indicates a recent injury to me rather than a new cancer. Wishing you and Sierra all the best as you visit the vet and work through this setback.
Oh sweetie I am so sorry to hear ...
Did you call your vet to find out how you can press her bladder so she pees?
Wish I could offer some clues as to what the foot swelling might be but I am at a loss there too.
Please know I am thinking about you both and hope your vet can solve the problems so Sierra can be a happy dog again soon.
Sending you much love and cuddles 😘😘🐮💫✨🌟🌹
