A 2-3 month old puppy started vomiting yellow fluid and drooling white foam, is lethargic, walks slowly and unsteadily, loves to lie down and sleep, eats nothing, sometimes drinks, and its belly twitches when drinking; then it became less affectionate with a vacant stare — about 5-6 days now, given glucose IV

Hello, based on your description, the puppy’s symptoms are mainly considered to come from poisoning or an infectious disease. The situation is urgent, so take the dog to a veterinary clinic promptly.
If the dog ate rat poison or other toxic substances, the nerves can be easily damaged, causing vomiting and convulsions; in that case it needs prompt induced vomiting or gastric lavage plus a specific antidote. In addition, if the dog is not fully vaccinated, it may have caught distemper, parvovirus, or similar infectious diseases that cause vomiting, so consult a veterinarian immediately for treatment.
