Poor pup. I would recommend doing daily Epson salt and warm water baths for 5 to 10 minutes to help relieve inflammation and discomfort. However most muscle sprains tend to resolve on their own with light activity within 3 to 5 days. so leash walk Daisy only when she goes outside and don't encourage rough play jumping and running inside the house until she completely resolves. if there is no significant improvement within that timeframe then a more serious internal injury is likely the cause, so a visit to your vet at that time is recommended for further care. Hopefully this is just a muscle sprain and Daisy gets better soon!
