I have a Samoyed puppy (two months and eight days) with repeated dry heaving and clear runny nose. The vet tested negative for distemper and parvovirus, blood test showed high white cells and anemia, and gave three shots (anti-inflammatory, stomach, cold), then three more at night. Today it first passed bloody stool at home, the bloody part mucus-like. Normally energy is good and appetite normal.

What is the red area under my puppy’s eye? I’m about to get this dog but its eye looks off
The red under the eye is tear staining, often from oily, salty food causing excess tears that oxidize, or congenital blocked tear ducts. Adjust to low-fat, low-salt food, clean the eyes often, and use care eye drops like honeysuckle drops to reduce stains and fight bacteria.
My just-opened-eyes puppy is listless and just lies down, what is wrong?

A sick Pomeranian puppy usually shows lethargy, poor appetite, diarrhea, soft stools, slow reactions, weight loss, runny nose, sneezing, shedding, fever and increased eye discharge.

How can you tell a puppy is healthy when buying?
First, check the puppy's mental state: healthy eyes are clear and lively with little discharge, and the puppy is active with a good appetite. Second, look for local hair loss, itching, or skin damage to avoid skin disease.
I forced open my 15-day-old puppy’s eyes; what should I do and how can I avoid blindness?
Newborn puppies usually open their eyes around 9 to 13 days after birth. If they have not opened by then, never force them open by hand; even if half-open, observe and supplement nutrition, as some open on their own after about a week.
