My puppy is very sick, barely moving, and has liquid poop. What to do?
Updated On September 23rd, 2025
Pet's info: Dog | Pit Bull Terrier | Male | unneutered | 4 months and 20 days old
My two puppies got sick with a bacterial infection (just an assumption, can't go to the veterinarian), but the first puppy who was contaminated pulled through. The second one, however, is doing worse and worse by the day. He barely moves at all, and can no longer control his bowels, pooping liquid as he sleeps (no blood, it's clear). I think he is dying, and if he is, what am I to do ?

Hi, and thanks for your question. These signs could be compatible with an inflammation infection of the gastrointestinal system and surrounding organs (like pancreas and liver). A clinical examination at your local veterinarian is immediately essential to confirm these clinical suspicions and treat appropriately. Antibiotics and possibly further investigations (like abdominal imaging as ultrasound or radiographs) may be needed. Hope this answer was helpful, but please do not hesitate to contact us again on the forum or by requesting a consultation if you have any more questions or to discuss it any further.

Tucker really needs to see an emergency veterinarian right away. He could have some kind of serious issue going on like a bleeding rectal tumor, clotting disorder, intestinal infection, or anal gland abscess and needs to be examined to figure out what is going on, and how to help him. Clearly he is very ill if he has not eaten or drunk water for two days, and he needs to be on intravenous fluid support to prevent serious dehydration. Best of luck!

Hi, and thanks for your question. These signs could be compatible with an inflammation infection of the gastrointestinal system and surrounding organs (like pancreas and liver).

Hi, and thanks for your question. These signs could be compatible with an inflammation infection of the gastrointestinal system and surrounding organs (like pancreas and liver). Given the diarrhoea and inappetence as well, a clinical examination at your local veterinarian is immediately essential to confirm these clinical suspicions and treat appropriately.
