We're having similar problems here, with the snow trying to melt during the day and freezing again at night. It gets crusty and rotten and the dogs are constantly breaking through while playing. We've had 3 sprains this week...

Certainly if it's not better soon, I'd bring her in--mild sprains will resolve in a day or two. Are you sure it's a sprain and not an infection or abrasion of some sort?
