will a dog let you manipulate a paw if it is broken?
Most dogs don’t want you to touch the broken paw. The dog should be taken to a Vet to be x-rayed and to see what may be needed for medical attention. A dog that has a broken paw may bite because it is more than likely in a lot of pain. From personal experience my little dog just had a sprained paw and I kept her still except for taking her out to the bathroom and give her a 1/4 baby asprian. The Vet can tell you if she needs something for pain. Also you need to monitor if the dog is drinking water and eating, and report this also to your Vet, or any strange behavior the dog is showing. Pain from a broken paw may be different in pets as to how they react because they can’t tell you what is wrong.
