Hi, you could use sugary water. Add two tablespoons of sugar into a mug of hot water, mix and let the sugar dissolve. Add a bit of cold water to make it lukewarm and the spray the area, the swelling should reduce allowing it to go back into place. Remember it is an emergency and if the above is not working, you should take Chewy to your closest vet.
