Hello. It is not uncommon for puppies to have minor skin infections due to their developing immune systems. Most just heal on their own, or often we may recommend a medicated shampoo. But if Sorullo has not eaten, is weak & skinny, there is something much more serious going on. He really needs to see a veterinarian at your earliest convenience. I hope he is feeling better soon & thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
