What Happens If a Puppy Exercises Too Much?

What Is the Whippet’s Intelligence?
Per Stanley Coren's ranking, the whippet is 47th, above average. Lively, agile, and loyal with good learning and obedience, it is easy to train, though individual IQ varies with genetics, environment, and training.
A three-month-old puppy; on Nov 3 it fell and hurt its left front leg badly but it’s fine now. Three days ago it fell from a low sofa and hurt the right hind leg; now touching it anywhere causes no pain, but it won’t put weight on the right hind leg.
After a fall, a non-weight-bearing leg may be fractured, dislocated, or just sprained or bruised. No pain on touch suggests sprain or bruise; restrict exercise, crate-rest, ice 15 min daily, and it should recover in 5 to 7 days. If not, get an X-ray.

The area around the mouth has no fur and feels hard

What is canine ileocecal pyogranuloma?
A canine ileocecal pyogranuloma is commonly known as cecal inflammation or a cecal cyst. There are many causes, including scratches from sharp foreign objects, intestinal parasite infections, and viral infections such as parvovirus or distemper. If a dog develops this condition, the specific cause must first be identified so that targeted treatment can be given. If the cecal inflammation is caused by intestinal parasites, the dog should be dewormed and given medications that repair the intestinal mucosa to promote recovery of gut health.
Seems not itchy but very red over a large area; what skin disease is it?
The photo suggests mixed bacterial and fungal infection, but a skin scrape is needed to confirm. Skin disease takes long to heal; follow the vet's medication and care.
The skin problem has been treated a long time but still isn’t better.
A skin problem that won't heal may be wrong medication or a stubborn, recurring condition. The photo shows bumps and redness, possibly mite infection (demodex, scabies). Scabies is hard to cure without correct treatment; get a skin scrape and follow vet baths/deworming.
