My puppy has pustules and goopy eyes after a flea bath. Is it serious?

Question

I just picked up my puppy and he has pustules around his nose/ mouth and eyes as well as weeping goopy eyes. She says he accidentally got a flea bath instead of puppy shampoo. It's been several days and they've bathed him in oatmeal bath and given daily benadryl. He is 9wk great dane. Pet's info: Dog | Great Dane | Male | unneutered | 2 months and 3 days old | 28 lbs

I'd have Sergeant checked out by a vet right way. A flea bath shouldn't cause these pustules, it may be he has a skin infection called puppy pyoderma. The weeping goopy eyes wouldn't be caused by a flea bath unless it got into his eyes. It could be he has an eye infection. Please take him into a vet now. Best of luck.
