Poor guy. He needs to be seen by a vet right away. HE could have an infection here causing the redness and lethargy and this needs to be investigated first with some baseline bloodwork/urinalysis and then treated appropriately through your veterinarian. There really isn't anything you can do at home until we know what is causing Oscar's illness. Best to take him to a vet right away. I do hope that your puppy Oscar is able to get better soon! Best of luck moving forward and take care.
