What are the sequelae of canine distemper?
Canine distemper sequelae commonly involve the digestive and nervous systems.

Once the nervous system is affected, even recovered dogs may retain sequelae such as head-shaking and seizures. Some dogs may also develop pyoderma during or after recovery.

Persistent vomiting of yellow water with blood is mainly considered from intestinal foreign bodies, acute gastroenteritis, parasites, or viral infection — all damage the gut and cause bleeding.

My hamster can’t open its eyes, something seems crusted over, and its tail area is wet.

Is it okay for a puppy to eat carrots?
Carrots are rich in vitamins and carotene; moderate feeding benefits health.

So wait until at least 3 months; first try a small amount, cut small, steamed or cooked and cooled.
