Please help me

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.

I would recommend that Yoyo get checked out by a vet. A poor appetite and green eye and nose discharge can be symptoms of a life-threatening infection by Distemper Virus. There is no cure for this infection. Treatment depends on the symptoms and usually includes IV fluid therapy to maintain hydration, anti-nausea medications, probiotics if eating, antibiotics to prevent secondary bacterial infections, support for diarrhea, etc. Other causes for these symptoms include severe dehydration, other infection, sever allergies, among a few others.
