My dog was stepped on by a big dog a few days ago and now one leg cannot stand; what medicine should it take?
After being stepped on, one leg cannot bear weight, which could be pain, dislocation, or a fracture. Check for external wounds and clean and disinfect them, then apply anti-inflammatory ointment. If no clear wound or bone protrusion, get an X-ray; dislocation or fracture needs resetting or external fixation.
