Thank you for your post --- great points. The O.P. has already transported the dog to a non-vet and had the paw looked at and actually "booted." I think that the rest of the responses assumed that he was able to transport the dog. You're right: We may have assumed incorrectly.
Good catch on separating the dogs! I certainly wish I had remembered to say that.
I'm really glad you reminded us about the other dog's safety (physical AND non-physical).
We have mentioned asking the O.P.'s vet about sedating; ideally, the vet treating the dog would be the one to advise about that.
What I really hope is that the O.P. is calling the vet about management and an appointment before reading anything else on the 'net. Maybe he'll do that and then stop off here to see if there are transport pointers.

<3 Connie! Thanks! Means a lot coming from you. I was just telling a friend at Schutzhund club how awesome I think you are: your helpful replies are always so knowledgable and kindly.
On the transport, I am told that a sedative followed by muzzling after he is sedated would probably be the safest method.
Getting him in a car is not gonna be a problem. He's relatively fine outside of the confines of my apartment, and he'll get into the car easy.
I'm keeping Jake in his kennel only taking him out to feed him and walk him. I don't feel safe out and about with him. I'm gonna take him to the vet tomorrow and keep you guys posted.

Good luck Doug! I'm sure you will give the vet a heads up, so that they can be prepared for you.

The old food aggression that you worked on and is much better? Maybe not.
But the dog had who-knows-what happen at the boarding kennel. I really would not even think about assessing this behavior change that happened at the same time until he sees the vet. Truly, I think others will agree, an infected wounded paw (that we don't even know what happened to him to do it) can be really bad for the dog's overall behavior.
When he has seen the vet and is on the mend, then you will know whether he even has a behavior change beyond the physical misery.
I was unable to get Jake to the vet today(unfortunately)but have an appointment for first thing in the morning.
Jakes temperament is just getting worse though. In fact, its now a major gamble everytime I put him back in his kennel. He immediately turns and tries to attack me, not even always when he's in his kennel yet. Then its a rush to get him in and get the door without him getting me.
If its going to take a week or however long to heal, I'm going to constantly be in danger and I'm really have increasing doubts if I'll ever feel safe around Jake or be able to trust him again. I feel so conflicted over this.
