My 4-month puppy has a fever, red eyes, and is weak. What's wrong?

Question

My Pitbull puppy, four months of age suddenly developed a high temperature and extremely red watery eyes. He is also very weak but his appetite is normal and he is drinking water. I don't know if he just has a cold. Any advice?

Jeffrey Milner · Accepted Answer

A high fever and lethargy should be addressed by your veterinarian. In a puppy this young they will want to rule out disease processes such as the Parvovirus, and will likely want to obtain some blood work. While it could be a simple cold, typically these do not cause high fevers. Antibiotic therapy may be required if there is an infection.
