My dog has a fever, runny nose, watery eyes, and bad stool. What's wrong?

Updated on September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Golden Retriever | Female | 3 years and 2 months old | 57 lbs

Hi Experts. My Ghontu is ill from yesterday.. she is not eating much(she had some food though).She had a temperature of 103. Her stool is also not good from yesterday morning(attached are some pics). She is also lathergic. She is drinking water and also urinating normally(it seems). The main issue is she has a running nose and also her eyes are watery. What can possibly be the reason? I have contacted my vet. He suggested Clindapet and Econorm Tablets over phone. I feel worried for her.

Poor Ghontu. It looks like there may be blood in her stool, which could be caused by a sudden change in diet, eating something rotten, a foreign body, or something serious like hemorrhagic gastroenteritis. The fever, runny nose, lethargy, and watery eyes could be due to a respiratory infection. Have her seen by a vet today.

My dog has a fever and sticky yellow nose mucus. What should I do?

Take her to your veterinarian for an immediate check up. This sign is compatible with a upper respiratory tract infection (fungal, bacterial/viral more common) of the nasal mucosa. Antibiotics may be needed. Please do not hesitate to contact us again on the forum or by requesting a consultation (where you can post pictures ) if you have any more questions or to discuss it any further.

Dog vomiting, lethargic, not eating, shivering. Is it an emergency?

It sounds as Ghontu is suffering from a gastrointestinal condition, possibly an infection. it could also be due to ingestion of a foreign body material. i would recommend taking her to the vet the first chance you get, she will need to be checked first, if the vet thinks it's a simple gastrointestinal infection she will need an anti vomiting injection, antibiotics and a special food for a few days in order to get better. if the vet thinks it is more serious she will need a blood test and possibly an ultrasound in order to find out what is wrong.

What's causing my dog's fever, nosebleed, not eating, and cough?

It could be Gus Gus has a foreign body, growth, or fungal infection in his nose causing the bleeding. A fever means that he could have an infection going on. He needs to see a vet now, as he sounds quite sick with all of his symptoms. Please take him into a vet immediately. Best of luck.

My puppy has yellow snot, blowing nose, and runny poop. What's wrong?

It sounds like Stormy has an infection. I would recommend to take Stormy into the vet for an exam. The runny stool should be examined for worms and giardia and these treated if they are found. Puppies commonly get viruses and bacterial infections which should generally clear up with medications. I hope this helps!

My 4-month puppy has a fever, red eyes, and is weak. What's wrong?

A high fever and lethargy should be addressed by your veterinarian. In a puppy this young they will want to rule out disease processes such as the Parvovirus, and will likely want to obtain some blood work. While it could be a simple cold, typically these do not cause high fevers. Antibiotic therapy may be required if there is an infection.

My vaccinated dog has runny nose and diarrhea. What should I do?

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Diarrhea can be observed with conditions such as colitis, gastroenteritis, dietary indiscretion, intestinal parasites, among many other possibilities. The runny nose may be due to something like an upper respiratory infection. I recommend that you have Cooper evaluated by your veterinarian for further assessment and treatment. They may choose to check for parasites and to start medications for diarrhea depending on the results. Good luck! Hoping for a speedy recovery!

My dog is vomiting, has diarrhea, lethargy, and a fever. Is she okay?

These signs are compatible with a severe gastrointestinal infection.Unfortunately a check up would be the ideal solution as antibiotics may be needed to solve the possible infection and before clinical condition becomes critical. You can try to switch her diet to a more digestible one based on boiled chicken and rice but other than that a check up is really essential. Please do not hesitate to contact us again on the forum or by requesting a consultation (where you can post pictures ) if you have any more questions or to discuss it any further.
