Hi. It sounds like daisy is in pain from something. I would recommend with this amount of pain and swelling, I would recommend getting her to the ER. It is hard in this situation to know what the cause it. It could be an injury, a muscular inflammatory condition, and infectious process, and many other possibilities. Good luck.
