Roxie wont let me soak her paw with epsom salt, definitely not for 10 minutes. What other way works?

10 minutes is too much, 2 minutes twice a day is more than enough, you will probably need someone to help you as she is quite big. unfortunately i do not have any other way that does not involve taking her to the vet.
