Question
i have a pit bull pup about 4mths and she all of a sudden started throwing up, has gooey green mucus in the corner of her eyes, and she doesn't want to do anything she is very week and bearly walks..
what can this be?
and what can i do from home to help her get better?

Answer
Jillian -

There is not much you can do at home to make her better unless you can give her IV fluids and IV medications.  

If she cannot walk due to weakness then she   will definitely need IV fluids.  Have a veterinarian to examine her as soon as possible.
