Your dog is licking his leg that has a steel rod in it and now it seems infected should you have the leg amputated?

Only your vet can answer this question. Since your dog is continuously licking the area something is wrong. An x-ray should be taken to see if the rod is intact first. If so and there is infection and your vet discusses amputating the leg please don't give up on your dog. I have seen many dogs (a friend of mine owns one) that gets along very well on only 3 legs. Please get your dog into the vets as soon as possible and let them diagnose the problem.

What should I do for an infected mosquito bite.?
With any infected sore, it's a good idea to immediately disinfect the area. After that, the application of a soothing cream containing calamine or hydrocortisone will help tremendously. If it seems really serious, contacting your doctor would be a good idea.

How do you treat a cat that is scratched?
It depends on whether it's infected or not. If it's just an ordinary scratch, you probably don't even need to do anything -- cats keep themselves clean by licking, and that will usually be enough to let a normal cut or scrape heal. If it's puffy or has pus in it, or if the cat seems to be in a lot of pain, take it to the vet for some antibiotics.
