It sounds like your young poodle is experiencing some digestive upset, which can certainly be concerning, especially in a puppy. The fact that she vomited and had diarrhea but seems to be doing better today is a positive sign, but it's important to keep a close eye on her.

Vomiting and diarrhea in puppies can stem from various causes, such as dietary indiscretion—perhaps she ate something she shouldn't have—a sudden change in diet, parasites, or even stress. Since she's been dewormed, parasites might be less likely, but it's still a possibility.

Here are a few steps you can take at home to help her recover:

Firstly, ensure she has access to fresh, clean water at all times. Dehydration can be a concern with vomiting and diarrhea, so encourage her to drink small amounts frequently.

Next, consider temporarily switching her to a bland diet to help settle her stomach. You can offer her boiled chicken (without skin or bones) and plain white rice in small, frequent meals. Once her symptoms have resolved for at least 24 hours, you can gradually reintroduce her regular food.

It's also important to monitor her closely for any recurrence of vomiting or diarrhea. Keep an eye out for other symptoms like lethargy, refusal to eat, or any signs of discomfort.

Regarding her ears, since you mentioned some concerns, check them for any signs of redness, discharge, or odor, which could indicate an infection. Keeping her ears clean and dry can help prevent problems.

If her symptoms return or if you notice any other concerning signs, it would be wise to consult with a veterinarian to rule out any underlying issues. Puppies can become dehydrated quickly, so it's important to act promptly if her condition worsens.

If you have any further questions or need additional guidance, please feel free to reach out. Thank you.
