My puppy is weak, shaking, has fever, and can't poop. Is it serious?

Question

My puppy lab retriever has a fever, loss of appetite, fatigue, weak, shakes/shivers and tries to poop but it's hard for him(my husband thinks he swallowed a rock, but didn't see it) He has had his first set of vaccinations on the 20th of this month. he would get up to walk.. he stands for a second and then lays down. I'm not sure how serious it is and can't get him to the vet because they are closed. Pet's info: Dog | Labrador Retriever | Male | unneutered | 1 month and 27 days old | 12 lbs

Poor guy. It sounds like your puppy likely has a severe infection. I would highly recommend getting him seen first thing in the morning at any vet that is open and able. If an ER vet is the only option, then I would highly recommend going there. The vet needs to check your pup for parvovirus. I do hope that your puppy Billy is going to be able to make a full recovery from his illness. Best of luck and take care.
