Thank you for submitting your question regarding Nola. I would continue to offer her small frequent amounts of water and food. Be sure to give the medication as directed. The diarrhea is likely related to whatever caused the vomiting. If she is not starting to improve though, she will need to be seen for a recheck. Being a puppy, I worry about her becoming dehydrated, especially if she continues to vomit. Your veterinarian can prescribe a nausea medication that may help her eat better and will stop the drooling. I hope this information helps.

    I would be concerned that the diarrhea could be caused by intestinal parasites, a viral infection like distemper or parvo, or even a change in diet. The fact that she is so lethargic and won't eat concerns me. I would talk to your vet about doing a fecal, blood work and a parvo test if available. You vet should be able to give her some fluids to help rehydrate her if needed and some medications to help the diarrhea. I would offer her some plain boiled chicken (no bones) and white rice to see if she is willing to eat that and maybe it will settle her tummy. I hope this helps.
