Hi and thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Sorry to hear about this puppy. Unfortunately, there really isn't much they can do at home except provide fresh water to keep the urinary tract flushed and the puppy hydrated. I would advise reaching out to the local shelters, rescue groups, humane societies and see if anyone is willing to help them out with this puppy. Untreated this could turn into a kidney infection and a very very sick puppy. I wish you good luck.
