Take him to the vet to get an x-ray to ensure that it is only a sprain and not a break. The vet might Prescribe an antibiotic to combat the swelling and possibly provide pain killers. Whenever possible ice the leg using an ice pack. And finally, keep the cat inside until it has healed.
No, it can be sprained without being swollen.
well if your dogs foot is just a regular dog foot leave it be. but if it sprained it put on coban its a tape that only sticks to itself and its nice and stretchy. but if your going out on the mountains try waterproof fleece footies but the coban also works on the snow as long as you get the waterproof kind. Also if you think your dogs foot is broke take it to the vet.(duh)
bad sprained ankle.
Most I've heard of dogs with sprained feet is that they favor it, cry with the pain, yelp and whine, but I haven't heard of a dog licking the injured foot. I've never had a dog with a sprained foot before, so I'm not any expert or anything. It really depends on the dog's view of how to make the pain go away. Some may try licking, and some may just whine and cry. when my dog kept licking his paw i had a closer look and found he had a thorn between his pads. if its the same paw he keeps licking have a good look at it, its normally a sign that something is wrong.
If your foot pops with every step you take and you have a sprained ankle, you need to see a doctor. You may have a broken bone that needs to be reset before it heals up. An orthopaedic doctor should be able to help you.

No, that is not a foul it may be a sprained ankle, though.
Generally, you want to keep off the foot/ankle. Icing the foot can help, and in some cases so can gentle massage. Also, you should try to keep the foot elevated when not in use.
Fix it..
