Swelling in or around a dog's neck can be due to a variety of things, from a superficial abscess of insect bite/sting to metabolic disorder such as hypothyroidism to infection such as anthrax to cancer of the throat. If the dog appears otherwise healthy, you can watch the swelling carefully for a day or so to see if it resolves on its own. However, if the dog appears to be sleepy or lethargic, or if it is having trouble breathing, this is a medical emergency that needs addressing immediately.
There are several possible reasons for your dog's foot to be swollen. First would be a foreign body, such as a sticker or nail, imbedded in the pad - this would need to be removed by a veterinarian and probably some antibiotics and a tetanus shot given as well. Another option is simple infection in the foot, or an insect sting or a bite.
Another common reason is injury, such as a strained ligament or tendon or a bone bruise.
In an older dog, I would start to think of chronic diseases such as gout (rare in dogs, but it can happen) or cancer.
There are several possible reasons that a dog's legs could be red and swollen. Some of those possibilities are injury, Diabetes, or lymphoma. To determine the cause of this in your dog, check with your veterinarian.
Anything could have happened to your dog when you weren't home. Dogs generally don't swell up unless it's hurting pretty bad - I'd get it checked out immediately. He may have a fractured toe or foot if there are no visible signs of injury.
You should contact your vet and get x-rays (to find out if it's broken) and in the meantime you should probably get some kind of ice like an icepack or a bag of frozen peas and wrap it around the swollen ankle.
This could be anything from a foreign body to trauma (such as a pulled ligament or broken bone) to infection to cancer. If there are no signs of systemic infection and your dog is limping around on the foot, you may be able to watch him closely for a few days to see if it gets better. If it doesn't, or the foot looks like it is getting worse, you should take your dog to a veterinarian for examination and diagnosis.
They might of got some thing in its mouth or been in a fight or its been out in padoks where barly get stuck on its mouth.
Take it to the vet, there may be glass, plastic, staple or something sharp stuck in it, if not there may be an infected cut on its foot.
If it were to step on something sharp and then it doesn't get treated and it gets infected.
Yes, I can break a bunion on my foot from a fall.
Yes it could because the area affected by the infection is where there are many lymph nodes. And, the pressure on them from the excess fluid would interfere with the lymphatic flow that drains the foot, so it would swell, or can cause edema.
No. Athlete's foot is a fungal condition that causes, in extreme cases, oozing out of fluids. But swelling of the feet would have another cause. Best check with your doctor.
You ankle and foot can swell from a few things. You could have broken something, spunk something or just bruised it.
Any injury even without a chipped bone can cause swelling

No, it can be sprained without being swollen.
I would think that the only way a foot soak can cause itching is if you are allergic to the ingredients or there may be another cause, like Athlete's Foot.
Yes, consuming too much salt can cause ankle/foot swelling. Because over consumption will cause the body to retain more water, the ankles can swell from the water retention.
