Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! There are as you can imagine many things that can affect dogs in general. However, the best and most important thing you can do for your pup at this point to prevent all the most likely things is vaccinating and deworming as well as using heart worm prevention and flea and tick and prevention. By doing that you would be preventing a lot of the preventable diseases. Good luck!
