Now the right front leg barely works, it walks with a limp and doesn’t want to move much.
A bad right front leg with limping may be fracture, sprain, arthritis, or interdigital dermatitis/foreign object. Check for wounds and clean/disinfect with antibiotic ointment; if none, X-ray for fracture. Mild fractures need wrapping and pain/anti-inflammatory meds plus limited activity.

My puppy had normal stool, then diarrhea and blood after eating calcium cookies – is it indigestion?

What happens if you hit a Schnauzer?

This has lasted over ten days: swollen bridge of nose, no pain reaction when pressed, normal stool/eating, lively—allergy or something?
A swollen red nose bridge can come from bug bites, injury, infection, allergy, or parasites. For a bump from collision, clean with iodine and ice; for allergies, use anti-allergy medicine. If no improvement, see a vet.
What should I watch out for when raising a Chihuahua?
Chihuahuas are tiny, so don't let them play with big dogs (risk of injury/fracture), and they're jealous, so don't favor other dogs in front of them. Avoid intense exercise because their bones are delicate.
Hit by a car, butt is swollen and red, blood in the urine
Blood in the urine after a dog is hit by a car is very likely an internal injury, such as rupture and bleeding of the bladder, spleen, or other internal organs. Severe internal bleeding can cause abdominal fluid buildup and peritonitis, and without prompt treatment can be fatal, so take the dog to a veterinary clinic promptly for an ultrasound. If the exam shows only lower urinary tract bleeding, you can give the dog appropriate anti-inflammatory, hemostatic, and bladder-mucosa repair medications such as amoxicillin clavulanate, etamsylate, carbazochrome, or sucralfate. The specific medication depends on the exam results; the owner must not self-medicate.
How should I groom (clip) a Chow Chow?
Steps: bathe first, then comb to avoid tangles. Carefully trim the face, avoiding eyes/nose; set length and quickly clip back, belly, legs. Use clippers on the paw-pad gaps to prevent slipping. Comb again and touch up uneven spots.
The day before yesterday it had diarrhea with blood at the end; I gave Revolution (topical dewormer), probiotics, and smectite powder. Yesterday the stool was formed, but early this morning it had diarrhea again
Diarrhea with blood in dogs can have various causes, including indigestion, malabsorption, digestive tract injury, parasite infection, enteritis, and viral infection. Based on your description, the dog still had diarrhea after deworming and medication, which suggests the cause may not be parasites — the medicine didn't match the problem. Take the dog to a vet for relevant tests and apply targeted treatment based on the results.
