My dog is pacing, vomiting, shaking, and has green eye discharge. Why?

Question

My dog has been non-stop pacing for a day and a half, she has green pus coming from her eyes, she seems like she is confused, her tongue and the bottom of her paws are cold, she has vomited a lot over the last day and a half, she won't sit or lay down, she won't eat or drink anything, and she's twitching and shaking I don't know what is wrong with her. Please help me. Pet's info: Dog | Chihuahua | Female | unspayed | 10 lbs

This is very concerning as many of these signs point to a serious viral infection such as canine distemper. Please take Latte to your vet today. I hope it is not distemper, as this disease is not curable and very debilitating. It causes nerve damage and treatment is only supportive. Your dog could also have encephalitis/meningitis and this must be treated by a vet as well. Please take her to a vet today. Your vet will need to take blood and examine your dog.
