My puppy has bumps, green discharge, hair loss, and is off balance.

Question

My puppy has pimple like bumps in & around her vulva, she has a couple in her ears, & 1 on the underside of her paw. Also I noticed a lime green discharge is present espically immediately after urinating. The space between the vulva & Anus is swollen, it feels like a big round squshie lump. She is loosing hair on the back of her ears & a few other areas. I can tell she is extremely uncomfortable and loss of balance is an issue. At times she seems a little lethargic. Pet's info: Dog | American Pit Bull Terrier | Female | unspayed | 2 months and 19 days old | 13 lbs

It looks like your puppy could have a pyoderma skin infection or possibly parasites causing the bumps around her vulva, ears and paw. I would guess that the discharge from your vulva that you are seeing is from vaginitis, but a urinary tract infection would also be possible. The loss of balance is concerning and could be due to an inner ear issue or a neurologic problem, although puppies this age are normally not very coordinated so it may also be normal for her. I would definitely recommend seeing your veterinarian for these issues - after a physical exam they may or may not recommend checking a urinalysis. They can prescribe medications for the skin issues if necessary.
