I have imported puppy last 4 days ago from ukrain. Her appetite was ok since then but her pee & poo schedule was abnormal till date. She does not do her business soon after her meal. Her eyes are red & watery. Today i noticed her appetite has been reduced. She is sometimes active and sometimes lazy or lithargic. Please advise me what can i do for her?

Thank you for submitting your question regarding Eva. It is very common for new puppies to acquire an upper respiratory tract infection during travel. I recommend she sees a veterinarian. This could explain the eyes and low energy levels. It also has the potential to affect her bathroom habits. I hope this information helps!
