Dog Sprained Wrist

It appears my dog has badly sprained his right front leg at the wrist/ankle. It's Saturday afternoon. I did a quick search and found Benadryl is supposed to be ok to use as a bit of a pain killer, but does anyone have any other suggestions? He's really hurting - acknowledging that he's a bit of a baby about pain - and if it's not better by Monday I'll take him to the vet.
The Benadryl doesn't seem to be doing anything.

On one hand, the pain will keep your dog quiet (if they are fools like my pointers). Rest will help healing.

On the other hand, I usually have some rimadyl on hand for these things. Your dog should be much improved by Monday when you call the vet--if not, you have a different problem.

That's what I'm thinking and doing. :(
