My puppy is weak, not eating, has purple poop & rashes. Is it urgent?

Poor guy. It sounds like your puppy likely has a severe infection. I would highly recommend getting him seen first thing in the morning at any vet that is open and able. If an ER vet is the only option, then I would highly recommend going there. The vet needs to check your pup for parvovirus. I do hope that your puppy Billy is going to be able to make a full recovery from his illness. Best of luck and take care.

It sounds as Baloo 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 him to the vet the first chance you get, he will need to be checked first, if the vet thinks it's a simple gastrointestinal infection he will need an anti nausea injection, antibiotics and a special food for a few days in order to get better.

It's difficult to tell from the picture, but it looks like there is some blood in that picture. If that is the case, then I would recommend having Toffee examined by a veterinarian today. Puppies can have a number of intestinal diseases that can cause problems. Some are mild, but some can be very serious. Anytime there is blood, we want to start treatment right away to prevent it from getting worse. And if Toffee is weak, then he is likely already quite sick and needs treatment right away. Good luck! I hope that was helpful and that Toffee feels better soon. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.

How horrible for you on your first night with your new puppy that Buddy is ill! Yes, definitely take him into an ER vet now. I'm very concerned that with his age and the dark color of his diarrhea that he could have parvovirus. He won't be fully vaccinated, and parvo is very contagious. It's best to have him seen now to be safe. Please take him into an ER vet clinic; if there isn't one in your area, there will be a vet on call for emergencies. The information to reach that vet is found on a clinic's answering machine or website. Best of luck, I hope this helps!

Black stool and extreme weakness are concerning symptoms that are an emergency and require veterinary care, especially in a young puppy. It would be best to bring Aura into your vet immediately for an exam and treatment.

Poor Clyde sounds so ill! He could have parvovirus, a severe GI illness, may have eaten something rotten, or could have a foreign body. I would consider his symptoms a medical emergency, and he needs to see a vet now. Please take him into an ER vet clinic; if there isn't one in your area, there will be a vet on call for emergencies. The information to reach that vet is found on a clinic's answering machine or website.

Hello and thank you for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. it does sound serious. Profound vomiting and diarrhea in such a young puppy can lead quickly to dehydration. If possible, please take Bailey to your local emergency service for an appointment tonight. If this is not an option, you should withhold any water or food overnight, offer him very small amount of water in the morning and take him to your regular vets as soon as they open on Saturday morning.
