    does he sound like he's got "smokers cough"? if so it's kennel cough which is treatable by a shot or pills. make sure he's been wormed and get hose shots up to date. you can always take him to the vet early if it gets worse. p.s. kennel cough needs early and extra attention! it can kill the dog.

    Don't wait until Sunday. Take him to the Vet today! Young puppies are fragile and can get very sick, very quickly.

    In the future please never buy a puppy under 8 weeks old. They are too young and don't have enough of an immune system to fight off any diseases. They also tend to be harder to train and potty train because the Mom-dog teaches them a lot in those several weeks.

    You need to see if you can get your puppy in to the vet sooner. He sounds like it might have a could or sinus infection and just need some antibiotics. The sooner you get the puppy on it the better. Call your vet and Im sure they will help you get in quick.

    When I adopted my dog, he had the same problem. The goop is basically the same stuff that humans have.. eye gunk, if you will. Give it lots of water, love, and affection and it should be fine.

    Hope your puppy feels better :)
