My new puppy's head sways and has green eye goo. Is he sick or blind?

I am concerned that Gus has an upper respiratory infection, or worse, if he has not been vaccinated, he may have distemper. You need to take Gus to the veterinarian right away to be evaluated and start treatment. Best of luck. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.

Poor pup. How lovely of you to want to take him in! He needs a physical exam, and the vet will likely want to do blood work and a urinalysis. The red eyes do need to be treated asap. I would take him into a vet today if possible.

I'm sorry your pup isn't feeling well. He needs to be check for an ulcer or scratch of his cornea- he needs to see a vet for that. You can rinse with contact solution and if no improvement in 12 hours, I would take him to the vet. Good luck and kisses to your pup!

The weakness and poor balance is a medical emergency and not suitable for home remedies. Please contact your local humane society for advice on help available in your area. I would be concerned this may be canine distemper but a vet check is required

Anytime you take in a dog from the street, you should seek the advice of a vet immediately. First to establish the dog's health, then to start vaccines and deworming treatments for diseases that the dog could pass on to you, or to other animals. The best thing you can do to help your friend is to get her to have the dog seen by a vet immediately.

He looks pretty cute! It's hard to guess a puppy's breed from a couple pictures. It does look like he needs some care. His big belly may be caused by intestinal parasites, and he may have an infection or mange on his face (I can't see clearly). His coat is a little dull, but I am sure that would be a glossy brown after a few weeks of a good puppy food and a bath. I would recommend that you take him to the vet for a good checkup. They can test him for intestinal parasites and check for mange. They can also get him started on proper vaccinations to protect him against common puppy diseases.

Unfortunately, there is nothing you can do for Athena at home, she has to see a vet immediately. It sounds like she could have an eye infection, and that requires medication from the vet to treat. It's also serious she doesn't want to eat, and that could be caused by a systemic illness, infection, or inflammation. I would see if there is a low cost clinic in your area, ask your vet if they will accept payment plans, contact a local animal shelter for help, or apply for credit to afford the vet. I would see if anyone can loan you at least $10 each, and if you can get a number of family and friends to loan you that amount, you could raise enough to see a vet. She does have to see a vet ASAP, and I hope that my advice helps you find the money to afford a vet.
