I don't know what happened yesterday, but I heard my dog crying, I went out to see what she was crying about. She wouldn't come to me. I went to her and saw blood on her. I took her down to my father in laws and he said it looked like she got caught in something. She had a toenail pulled out. She had scratch marks on her belly. All afternoon she just layed in her bed. I carried her outside to use the bathroom and she tried to walk. she couldn't step on one of her back legs. (not the one that had the toenail ripped out) This morning it was the same. She didn't want my other two dogs near her, or anyone but me. I think its broken, but I do not have any money to take her to the vet. Does anyone know how I can make her feel more comfortable??

You must bring her to vets,
else you have to take care of her,
probably forever.
Dog with legs hurt will not recover in short time,
if they have leg broken,
they might not work properly forever.
Besides,
hurting dog is danger too,
as when they hurt,
they will feel that everything is danger to them,
and will bite anyone who try to come near them beside their master.

Awww, that's so sad. That poor dog. Maybe you should try putting ice on it if she lets you touch her. That should numb it a little and keep it from bleeding. If it's broken you're going to want to set it so it heals properly. It would be wise for you to do some research on the internet about dog first aid. I'm sure you'll be able to find something to help your dog. Before you do anything I would suggest you try to find a shelter that might be able to help you for free if you don't have money to take her to the vet. I hope this helps.
