Why is my 4-week puppy wheezing, whining, and has a cloudy eye?

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! This is likely due to an upper respiratory infection. This is usually treated with antibiotics. I recommend that you have Cocoa evaluated by a veterinarian for further assessment and treatment. Good luck and have a great day!

Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Oh no, poor Peanut! I am worried about breathing issues since you mentioned a whistling sound. He could have an upper respiratory tract infection or pneumonia. Since he is so young he should be seen immediately by a Vet. I hope this helps and I wish Peanut a speedy recovery!

Hi there and thanks for posting on Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Yes, I would recommend you take Luna into see her veterinarian soon. The symptoms she is experiencing such as trying to clear her throat, may actually be a cough. Coughing and wheezing can be indicative of an upper respiratory infection. She may need chest x-rays to confirm an upper respiratory infection and may be placed on antibiotics. I hope this helps and I wish you and Luna the best!

Hi, and thanks for your question. This sign could be compatible with an upper respiratory tract inflammation/infection or possibly to a chronic rhinitis (inflammatory, allergic, infective). A clinical examination at your local veterinarian is essential to confirm these clinical suspicions and treat appropriately. Antibiotics may be needed. Hope this answer was helpful, but please do not hesitate to contact us again on the forum or by requesting a consultation if you have any more questions or to discuss it any further.

Hi there and thanks for posting! Sounds like the puppy may have a upper respiratory infection or a virus or bacterial. Not consuming enough of mom's milk can cause the puppy not to receive enough antibodies towards certain infections. However, this can vary depending on the mother's own natural immunity. 320 grams or 0.7lbs for a 1 week old puppy sounds about right. I hope the antibiotics helps with the respiratory infection. Best of luck to you!

I would recommend bringing Pippa to a veterinarian especially if she is coughing and breathing hard. She may have an upper respiratory infection but could also be something more. Your veterinarian can listen to her to make sure her lungs are clear and if not can perform x-rays to make sure she doesn't have pneumonia or bronchitis. Since she is so young I recommend a veterinarian sooner than later. Puppies can get sick and decline quickly. Thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.

I recommend to get this puppy examined today. That eye looks inflamed and possibly infected. It's possible this is a congenital anomaly but the appearance of the eye looks suspicious for something is trapped in the eye (hair or or object) or that a virus has causes a painful corneal abrasion. The opacity may represent corneal edema which is very worrisome. It's possible he is in pain so get this addressed quickly. Best of luck.
