I just bought a dog, about 2-3 months old; since getting home it has been lying still, walks unsteadily, then after drinking water lies down with its eyes open

Why Dogs Bark Every Morning
Dogs usually bark first thing in the morning because they are hungry, thirsty, or need to relieve themselves after a night's wait.

Is It Normal for a Dog to Be Very Quiet in a New Home?
Most dogs are quiet when they first arrive because the unfamiliar smells, people, and sounds cause stress and anxiety; they usually settle within 5–7 days. Help by offering a calm, cozy spot, a steady routine of feeding and walks, and avoiding over-handling. But if the quiet comes with no eating or drinking for over 24 hours, lethargy, vomiting, fever, or diarrhea, it may signal illness and needs a vet.
