Are you sure you got the whole Thorn? You might want to look closer and see if there are any others or if you missed a piece of it. You could try soaking the foot in warm salt water. If there is a piece left it might need to fester to get it out unless you take her to the vet.

I would look real close for something else stuck in the foot. Last summer I noticed my Pete dog limping after we got home from running. When I looked, his foot was swollen up like a balloon. A real close examination showed a 3 inch long twig penetrated his foot just behind the upper pad. Still took a day and a half for the swelling to go completely down.
