It sounds like your puppy is experiencing a few concerning symptoms, and I'm here to help guide you through them. The eye discharge you're noticing, especially if it's accompanied by redness and tearing, could be due to an infection, allergies, or even irritation from a foreign object. A gentle way to manage this at home is by cleaning the eyes with a warm, damp cloth to remove any discharge. However, if these symptoms persist or worsen, it would be wise to have a veterinarian examine your puppy's eyes to rule out any serious conditions.
As for the lump on your puppy's neck, it could be a swollen lymph node, an abscess, or a benign growth. Since it's been there for a few days, it's important to keep an eye on it for any changes in size, redness, or if it becomes painful. It's reassuring that your puppy is still playful and eating normally, but if the lump grows or your puppy shows signs of discomfort, I recommend scheduling a veterinary visit to determine the exact cause and appropriate treatment.
Regarding the diarrhea, this could be due to dietary indiscretions, such as eating bird poop or leaves, which can upset a puppy's stomach. Make sure your puppy has access to clean water to stay hydrated, and consider feeding a bland diet, like boiled chicken and rice, until the diarrhea resolves. If it continues or if your puppy becomes lethargic, a vet check would be advisable.
Overall, while your puppy seems to be in good spirits, it's important to monitor these symptoms closely. If you notice any significant changes or if the symptoms persist, seeking veterinary advice would be beneficial. If you have any further questions, please feel free to ask. Thank you.
If lump is swollen node, how long it will take before it gets back to normal aize? Any home remedy to help with his recovery other than taking medicine


Swollen lymph nodes in puppies can often be a response to infections or inflammation, and the time it takes for them to return to normal can vary depending on the underlying cause. If the swelling is due to a mild infection or inflammation, it might resolve within a few days to a couple of weeks. However, if the swelling persists beyond this period or worsens, it’s crucial to consult a veterinarian to determine the cause and appropriate treatment.
Applying a warm compress to the swollen area can help reduce inflammation and promote drainage. You can use a clean, warm, damp cloth and gently hold it against the lump for a few minutes, a couple of times a day.
Additionally, ensure your puppy stays well-hydrated and continues to eat a balanced diet, as proper nutrition supports the immune system, aiding in recovery. It’s also important to provide a comfortable place for your puppy to rest and ensure they aren’t overexerting themselves.
Keep a close eye on the lump for any changes in size, color, or if it becomes painful, and watch for any new symptoms that might develop. While these home remedies can be supportive, they are not a substitute for veterinary care if the swelling persists or if your puppy’s condition changes.
