I have had Cloe for 2 weeks. The pet shop I got her at said that she had her first 2 set of shots but nothing about de-worming. So I got some de-wormer and gave her the frist dose on a Sunday. By Wensday she threw up twice and now has diarrhea. She has had diarrhea now for about 4 days it started going away but then just came back. Should I take her to the vet or is there something I should give her??

I would definitely take her to the vet. Coming from a pet store, there's so many different problems she could have, parvo being one possibility. Diarrhea and vomiting are symptoms of parvo. It could also be that you may have changed her food. That could also cause these symptoms. When you're dealing with a puppy having these symptoms, it's really best that you take her to the vet. There's also danger of her becoming dehydrated from the vomiting and diarrhea. She may need subcutaneous fluids to rehydrate her.
