Many times a dog will have a stone, splinter, or some type of debris in his toe, causing swelling. You must look diligently for the object and try to remove it with tweezers. Apply antibiotic and if bleeding a bandage to the area. You can apply ice to the swollen paw, and aspirin can be used for pain and inflammation.

There are too many possible causes to risk self-diagnosis. If it hasn't cleared soon I would take them to a vet, especially if they are in pain.
