My 8-week puppy has eye pus, vomiting, and is quiet. Is it serious?

Updated on September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Male | unneutered | 1 month and 28 days old | 9 lbs

I have a 8 week old puppy, he got his first shot about a week ago and deworming pill. I think he may have got into something, but he has white puss in his eyes, just threw up and is acting quiet today. I just moved so that could possible be why?

Poor Willow! This white pus in his eyes are a sign of an eye infection, and he has to see a vet immediately for it. The eye is such an important and delicate structure that any problem with them should be considered an emergency. Leaving it untreated can lead to vision loss. I would take Willow into an ER vet or find a vet on call to see him now. While there, the vet can investigate the cause of his vomiting, which can certainly be caused by eating something he shouldn't, as well as parvovirus, GI illness, or a foreign body.
