For the past few days one front leg is always lifted and not bearing weight; I squeezed it and it doesn’t seem to hurt, and there’s no splinter
A front leg not bearing weight may be from injury, fracture, ligament or soft-tissue damage, or dislocation. Have the vet press and X-ray it; mild cases can be treated conservatively.
Relative’s puppy was bitten by a big dog two days ago; has been holding its front leg bent since, low energy, leg has sensation, no nearby vet, unsure how to handle
After a dog bite, get an X-ray to check for bone injury. If unable to see a vet, keep it resting and clean any wounds; consider a makeshift splint if fracture is suspected.
This state has lasted a long time; the doctor prescribed this spray but it kept getting worse. I’m heartbroken.
The dog's ear problem is likely bacterial otitis; the spray is a bacteriostatic one and made it worse, so stop using it. Keep the ear dry and clean daily, then get a smear test at the vet.
My dog’s eye had an ulcer, healed for a few days, then suddenly turned blue; after eye drops it turned red. Is redness a sign of improvement?
Based on your description, the ulcer and blue discoloration may be from physical injury or cataracts. Do not medicate without a diagnosis; seek veterinary care.
What to do if a dog’s leg is caught/crushed
From the photo the front leg is severely crushed and swollen; take it to a vet promptly for debridement and bandaging, with daily injections and fluids to prevent infection. If necrosis appears, amputation may be advised. Follow the vet's plan.
My dog ate a little daffodil, vomited three times, still energetic, now asleep – need a vet
Vomiting after eating daffodil means poisoning; daffodils contain alkaloids that damage the gut and nervous system. Take it to a vet promptly for induced vomiting and gastric lavage, plus fluids if toxic signs show. Don't delay.
My 3-year-old female dog had a litter this year; I kept one pup, now she is anorexic, thin, irritable, and distant – is it the puppy
Poor appetite, weight loss, and irritability may be psychological or disease-related. Since mother and pup were separated long ago, a sudden change now is unlikely; watch for illness like parasites or pyometra/ovarian cysts. Improve her environment, give more company and warmth, and see a vet if no improvement.
My Samoyed may have swallowed a nail at 5pm; acting normal, didn’t vomit after induction – will it be ok
Since you only suspect and induction didn't work, stop inducing (it irritates esophagus/stomach). Watch whether it passes the nail in stool; a thin nail may pass on its own. Give probiotics for motility, check stool daily; if not passed in 2 days or vomiting/blood/diarrhea appear, get X-rays - surgery may be needed.
How to care for an elderly dog

How to pick a high-intelligence dog when buying
Consider breed (Border Collie, Poodle, GSD, Golden, Lab are smart; hounds, village dogs, terriers also); observe behavior - smart pups are curious but not overly anxious in new settings; in interaction, quick response and fast learning signal high intelligence.
