My four- to five-month-old puppy has cloudy white eyes, can’t see, keeps them shut, bumps into things, has pus-like discharge, and keeps scratching at its eyes—what’s wrong?
Based on the description and photos, your puppy may have infectious canine hepatitis. Take it to a vet for further examination and targeted treatment based on the cause and severity.

Other measures include liver-support therapy, antiviral treatment, controlling secondary infection, jaundice management, and keratitis treatment.
Why is my puppy listless, refusing food and water, and not defecating after a river bath?
Refusing food and water after a bath is often from poor warmth leading to chills or a cold, which affects appetite. Keep the puppy warm, treat symptoms as they appear, and if it only skips food and water without other signs, check for and remove any odd odors on its body. Persistent refusal to eat or drink warrants a veterinary visit.
