It could be Athena has a fungal infection, but she could have injured her toe, have a foreign body in it (grass seed or foxtail), or have a skin infection. Without seeing her in person, I can't say for certain. I would take her into the vet on Monday. The vet can diagnose what is causing the swelling, and can treat her for it. Best of luck.
