The lack of appetite and drinking, along with lethargy (tiredness), can be signs of systemic illness, infection, or even organ dysfunction. Vomiting, even if it's just once, can be related to gastrointestinal upset or could be a sign of something more serious, especially if it continues or worsens. Please understand that his exact cause can only be determined by examination.

The nose discoloration is a less specific symptom but can sometimes be associated with a decrease in blood flow or changes in pigment, which can occur with certain diseases or nutritional deficiencies. Finding a worm in your dog's stool is a clear sign of a parasitic infection, which can cause gastrointestinal upset and can contribute to the other symptoms you're observing.

Please try to encourage drinking by offering fresh water and monitoring intake. Dehydration can worsen the condition quickly, especially in a young dog. And offer a bland diet, such as boiled chicken and rice, in small amounts to see if your dog will eat. This can be easier on the stomach than regular dog food.

It's important to note that young dogs are particularly susceptible to dehydration and the effects of internal parasites, which can lead to more severe health issues if not addressed promptly. While the above steps may help stabilize your dog temporarily, it's crucial to seek professional veterinary care to properly diagnose and treat the underlying cause of these symptoms.
