Why are my puppy's eyes red and his tummy swollen like a football?

Not sure if the red eyes may be related to the constipation and vomiting, but these signs could be compatible with an inflammation infection of the gastrointestinal system and surrounding organs (like pancreas and liver). A clinical examination at your local veterinarian is immediately essential to confirm these clinical suspicions and treat appropriately. Antibiotics and possibly further investigations (like abdominal imaging as ultrasound or radiographs) 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.

Intestinal parasite generally do not affect the skin and causing localized swelling. She may have been bitten or injured or having a reaction to something else, but not the internal parasite. I would take her back to the vet and have them check her eye to make sure it is just the eyelids and skin affected then they can prescribe medicine to control the swelling and give her comfort

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! This is possibly due to an allergic reaction or it could even be an actual on going allergy to something like fleas, food or an allergen in the environment. Allergic reactions are usually treated with anti-histamine medications such as Benadryl and steroids. Cameron should be evaluated by a veterinarian for further assessment and treatment. They could start therapy for this to see if it improves. In most cases it does improve and resolve and if no further exposures to the antigen occur, then this would not recur. Hopefully he does great! He is adorable! Good luck!

Welcome to Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! I can understand your concern. Please repost your question with a picture of your pets eyes so that we can give you an accurate assessment of Simba. Red eyes can be caused by just about anything including: allergic conjunctivitis, corneal hemorrhage, raised 3rd eyelid, etc. These are all treated differentyl and typically require a vet visit to treat. Weight loss in puppies is typically caused by intestinal parasites. I would suggest giving him a broad spectrum dewormer from your local pet store or feed store OR getting his stool tested by your vet is ideal to determine if he does have worms and what specific dewormer he needs. I am unsure what brand of food you are feeding now, but I would also recommend feeding him a high quality large breed puppy food such as Royal canin, Hill's Science Diet, Evo or Eukanuba. We look forward to hearing back from you soon with a photo of Simba's eyes. Take care!

From these pictures, Milos eyes seem normal. However, if you are concerned you can have your veterinarian perform an ophthalmic exam to be sure there is no problem. With regard to the diarrhea, this could be due to a bacterial, parasitic or fungal infection or it could mean that Milo ate something he should not have eaten. You can try putting Milo on a bland diet of boiled chicken and rice for a few days. However, if the diarrhea does not resolve, you will need to have him examined by your veterinarian.

This is most suspicious of a demodex (a microscopic mite) infection. They tend to have irritation and hair loss around their eyes and other parts of the face. It can also affect other parts of the body. Demodex is actually normally found on dogs and does not usually cause a problem. It is not uncommon for puppies to react to it at this age though. However, they usually will clear the infection on their own and don't need treatment. This will normally go away within three weeks. If it lasts longer than that or gets worse (losing hair on other parts of the body), then it's best to get her diagnosed and treated by a veterinarian. For now, you can give a little relief and prevent infection by washing the area gently with baby shampoo. Use cool water and flush the area for at least 5 minutes once a day. I hope that helps and Lola starts to get better soon.

He may have a condition called puppy pyoderma that is roughly equivalent to acne in humans. They usually will outgrow it over time but some get it worse than others and need some medications and possibly therapeutic baths to help them get over it. I suggest getting him seen by your vet to make sure that's what is going on or if he has some other kind of skin condition that may require different treatment. Your vet will do an exam, possibly collect some cells for examination under the microscope and based on these result will be better able to tell you what is going on and how best to treat it.
