I can see the foot is swollen in the ankle area.

She's not had pain meds today because I was hoping to increase the dosage of carprofen. She's actually getting around so much better than she has been

Aww bless! Okay let her rest that made me hurt for her.

Also, I was wrong on her initial weight. She was 9.8lbs. Now she is 7.8lbs. She does eat, but like I said, she doesn't forage around all day long and get Duck feed as well. It's just the duck feed now. She has a good appetite when she eats. I can't get her to eat any treats or anything other than duck feed

Is a vet an option? I hate to be all wishy-washy on giving medication advice, but in this case I really think it would be best for you so consult a vet.

She is losing weight, and her joint is really swollen, the really concerns me.
