Hi
If your puppy is unvaccinated, then it shouldn't have come into contact with any other unfamiliar and possibly unvaccinated dogs yet. I would urge you to vaccinate her ASAP, regardless of whether you are keeping or selling her, as you are putting her life at risk.
If you have a thermometer, take her rectal temperature (keeping it in there for a full minute). If it is higher than 39C then she has probably picked up an infection and needs to be seen by a vet.
Good luck

Chances are your dog has Parvo or some other vaccination. If it is not seen by a vet soon an infection of this type could be deadly. This puppy needs to see a vet ASAP! There are usually low-cost clinics that do cheaper vaccinations, so you should see about getting the puppy vaccinated as well.

You need to take this Puppy to a Veterinarian immediately. This puppy sounds like it has contracted something. It could be a simple parasite that has overwhelmed him or it could be more serious type of illness such as Parvo virus. Getting this Puppy vaccinated while it is sick is a waste of your money at this time. Your puppies immune system is working overtime for whatever illness he/she has. We do not recommend vaccinating sick puppies. Good luck with finding him a home when he is well.

Parvo virus can be a lengthy disease or short it depends on your puppies immune system and how well it is doing. I wish you the best of luck. Andrea
