My dog hurt her leg. We saw an emergency vet..she prescribed pain medicine but that was it. No x rays or anything. Could I wrap her paw?

Hi there. No, I would not recommend putting any kind of wrap or bandage on her paw, as this is likely to do more harm than good. I would restrict her exercise for the next few days to keep her from hurting her leg further, and give the pain medication as prescribed by the emergency vet. If she is still limping with no improvement by Monday, then I would take her in to see your regular vet for a recheck and possible x-rays.
