Answers:
you dont really have a choice, if it becomes infected then you are going to have her lose the leg, and you dont really want that do you?
Well then you can't really afford to own a pet. Seriously though get her to a vet and explain your situation and pay him in installments.
Vet would be the best thing, try to get antiseptic cream or spray for burns, she must be in pain, keep it covered up to prevent infection and wash it gently every day to keep it clean.
the answer to that is obvious TAKE HER TO THE VET!
You can also put burn cream on her foot and wrap it til you can get her to the vet.
Watch for signs of redness puffiness!
TAKE HER TO THE VET!
Most vets will let you make payments. SHe could loose her foot or her life if you dont get it taken care of
Are you that idiotic? Take her to the vet.
cool/cold water!

cover the paw, stop infection

but think about going to the vet!
Take her to a vet before she gets an infection. Would you go to a Doctor if this was your hand or foot? She needs anti-bio tics fast.
well if you cant afford a vet then you shouldn't have a pet.
God i hope you don't have kids, I can just see it My son fell and broke his arm what should i do
Get a hold of your local humane society or SPCA and explain to them what the situation is. They may be able to provide you with some low cost care or put you on a payment plan or something. Some vets are willing to do the same thing also if you explain your dillema.
Your dog is definately in pain and needs to be seen immediately. the puss could mean infection.
If you cant get "Free" advice from a vet, than I would simply do what I used to do for my kids, when they were small.. Get you a big jar, of vaseline, and put that vaseline on his "Owee" then put some big, square criss-cross gause, on it, (the thickly coated area), and tape that really good, around his Owee, and with animal safe tape of some sort, or just use duct tape, so he cant take it off. Good-Luck, to you and your poor dog.. Oh, repeat, this proces, each day, so it stays clean and free of all germs, but clean it really good very gently w/ warm water and a tissue, or some sort of really soft cloth.. Then do the above methods.. My kids Owee's healed so fast, when they were small, when I put vaseline on there Owee's and their scabs, didn't scar as bad, as mine did as a child with cuts, %26 abrasions.. In comparison, they have less scarring then I do, because of the vaseline I applied when they were little.. It should be safe to use on animals too, its just a lubricant, at its "Purest-form". He'll be okay, w/ this procedure, trust me, and it'll heal fast too!!
Some vets are willing to let you pay in installments, especially if its an emergency. Some even have programs to help pay for pets who's owners are unable to afford it. (I'm basically that way myself- bunch of cats and can hardly afford their vet bill) From the sound of it you don't have a choice, though- your dog needs to see a vet, or you'll risk her losing her leg or dieing, and obviously being in a lot of pain. I wish you and your pup the best.
YOU DO NOT NEED TO BE ASKING THIS QUESTION. GET HER TO THE VET FOR PETE'S SAKE! aRE YOU AWARE THAT YOUR DOG IS IN PAIN AND COULD LOOSE HER LEG BECAUSE OF THIS. IF YOU CAN'T AFFORD TO TAKE HER CALL AROUND AND ASK THE QUESTION OF WHAT TO DO. SOME PLACES WILL GIVE ADVICE BUT SHE DOES NEED TO BE SEEN. MEANWHILE PUT SOME BURN CREAM ON OR AN ANTIBIOTIC CREAM TO HELP WITH INFECTION. GIVE HER A IBUPROFIN OR ANY TYPE HEADACH PILL FOR PAIN IT WILL HELP SOME.


THIS IS UNBELIEVABLE!!.
well if you cant afford a vet then you shouldn't have a pet.
I would put antibiotic salve on the blisters and wrap it with bandages. If it does not look better by tomorrow, then go to a vet. If it looks better, put on more antibiotic salve and watch daily.
What the hell was the dog doing on the stove? People like you don't deserve pets!
