Actually Laura did take care of Jack because her mother told her to do it in which Laura finally obeyed her. As Charles explained to her daughter Laura, Jack died of old age and tiredness. Laura has a hard time dealing with her guilt because of the things she said about Jack being no good and worthless. She also felt bad that she wasn't with Jack when he died. As I watched this episode this morning, (January 28 2022) I cried like I did when I watched it when I was 15. I even had to hold my dog and tell her how much I love her. 62 years old and this show still makes me cry.

No one killed Jack. He layed down and died from old age in the same episode they get bandit their next dog. Laura feels terrible because she yelled at him and then he died. Not cause and effect but all the same she is feeling terrible. Charles ingalls goes to town and bandit sneaks on his wagon and comes home with him. At first Laura doesn't want him and yells an throws things telling him to "git" but then she decides she can love a new dog because the old lady with the crow who thinks he's a parrot tells her she can and everyone's happy. The end!

Negative. Jack had foxtails in his ears, which can be deadly to a dog. The barbed seeds can enter the body and wreak all sorts of havoc. So no, Laura's negligence directly led to his untimely death. 

A foxtail can be deadly to a dog, because the barbed seeds can enter the body. From there, they can cause infection by getting into the bloodstream, entering the lungs, or even reaching the brain. Laura neglected Jack, choosing to have fun with her friends over removing them from Jack's ears. This directly led to his death. When she returned, he had already passed, and she rightly blamed herself for it.

Thats totally wrong ! He died of old age on the show , that’s straight from the dog trainer of the show. Michael Landon did it to boost ratings.

He died in the very first episode of season 4
