Hi there. Given the fact that she has both vomiting and diarrhoea and is just lying around she could do with seeing your vet again today, puppies that have persistant vomiting and diarrhoea can get dehydrated very quickly and sometimes need to go on a drip or oral fluids to rehydrate them, she may very well need to try a different medication as well. Has she been wormed recently or is there a chance she could have eaten something else like a small toy that may be causing a blockage? Let me know how you get on.

Thanks for your help.I think maybe it was her puppy chow,I switched her to some can food I had,and so far today she has perked up,and has not gotten sick.Her bowels are still a little loose though.She was wormed about a week ago.She has an appointment on the 8th of march to get her booster shot.

Your welcome. If she seems happier in herself and theres no vomiting so far thats good, keep an eye on her bowell movements and if she at all reverts back to being poorly and vomiting again bring her appointment with the vet forward. Sometimes if there is a change in diet it can upset their stomachs so keep an eye on her and see how she goes. If I can be of anymore help let me know.
