My male lab puppy is almost 3 months. He is having enlarged tummy and is not eating well. Also has intermittent fever and urinating frequently. Seen a vet but he is not sure. What should I do?

I would recommend having a stool sample performed to rule out intestinal parasites and give a general deworming. I would then recommend blood work on him to see if there is something going on with Muffins organs. Thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
