If your dog�s paw does start to bleed and become red and swollen, they could be at risk for infection. the infection could come from the object itself if it were dirty. or, it could come from the exposed wound meeting bacteria on the ground.. Treating a swollen paw requires a veterinary visit, as causes can include bites, stepping on something, twisting their ankle, puncture wounds or infections..
