Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! I’m sorry to hear Mocha isn’t feeling well. I understand you have cost concerns but Mocha needs to see a vet as soon as possible. She could be having a reaction to the vaccine you gave, she could have other parasites you didn’t deworm for, or she could have parvovirus even if her sister isn’t showing signs. I worry that the vomiting and diarrhea is causing dehydration and because she is so young she can’t recover from that on her own. I would call the local shelters to see if they have a financial assistance program. Some vet offices may have one too. Mocha needs medical attention and without knowing what is causing the vomiting and diarrhea it will be difficult to recommend a treatment plan. Once a vet makes a diagnosis they can discuss different and cost effective treatment options. Good luck and kisses to Mocha!
