My just-opened-eyes puppy is listless and just lies down, what is wrong?

How long can a dog with tuberculosis live?
Untreated canine tuberculosis may leave only 1 to 2 weeks. It is a slow chronic infection with a variable latent period and vague early signs like poor appetite and weight loss, later a moist cough. With timely treatment and care, a dog can live much longer.

It had a little vitamin B2 earlier, now vomits kibble and yellow fluid; normal? Not eating, only drinking.
A pregnant cat vomiting yellow fluid may be morning sickness; if it vomits once with good spirits, it is usually normal, just fast half a day or use probiotics.

How long does a dog’s cold from chill take to heal?
A dog's cold from chill generally heals within a week; strong dogs may self-heal in days. Severe or weak cases need medication and warmth. Signs are sneezing, runny nose, low spirits, tears; use pet cold medicine, and fever needs pet antipyretics.
My dog has a black spot in the middle of its tongue; it wasn’t there before.
Sudden black spots are usually melanin deposition, normal if eating and behaving normally. Some come from broad-spectrum antibiotics causing black coating; others from blood stasis after a prick, healing in 7-14 days. If appetite or spirits drop, check for oral or endocrine disease.
An abandoned kitten I picked up had diarrhea at the rear; yesterday while bathing I squeezed a hard yellow lump from the urethra; today the urethra is swollen with yellow fluid.
The swollen urethra is likely infection from bacteria when you squeezed feces from it. Get a full check if possible. If not, clean with iodine or saline, give oral pet antibiotics, and use a cone while watching intake, urination, and spirits.
My two-month-old Golden Retriever vomited white foam first thing in the morning, had dry heaves last night, no stool, no eating, just lies down whining, temperature normal.
Foaming vomit in dogs has many causes: food poisoning, poor diet, gut disease, parvovirus, distemper. An unvaccinated dog with foam vomit, no eating, and low spirits should be tested for parvo, distemper, or coronavirus. Non-viral causes may be gastritis, pancreatitis, or parasites; treat the cause. Dehydration is risky, so seek IV care.
How long after infection does canine parvovirus show symptoms?
A dog generally shows parvovirus symptoms in 7 to 10 days. The incubation is 3 to 14 days with no signs, and testing is negative until onset. Early signs are poor appetite and vomiting; later diarrhea, blood, fever. Treat early for higher cure rate.
