It sounds like your Cane Corso puppy is experiencing some discomfort, with symptoms such as vomiting, diarrhea, lethargy, and a loss of appetite. These signs can be quite concerning, especially in a young puppy, as they can lead to dehydration and other complications if not addressed promptly.

The clear and liquid vomiting, along with diarrhea, could be due to several factors. It might be something as simple as dietary indiscretion, where your puppy has eaten something they shouldn't have, or a mild gastrointestinal upset. Although your puppy is up-to-date on vaccinations, which reduces the likelihood of some common viral infections, it's still important to keep a close watch on their condition.

Here are a few steps you can take at home to help your puppy:

Firstly, ensure your puppy stays well-hydrated. Offer small amounts of water frequently, and consider providing an electrolyte solution specifically designed for pets to help maintain their hydration levels.

Next, you might want to temporarily withhold food for 12 to 24 hours to give your puppy's stomach a chance to settle. After this period, you can introduce a bland diet, such as boiled chicken and rice, in small, frequent meals.

It's crucial to monitor your puppy's condition closely. If the symptoms persist beyond a day or worsen, it would be wise to consult a veterinarian.

Additionally, make sure your puppy is in a comfortable and stress-free environment to aid their recovery.

Given the lethargy and lack of appetite, it's important to keep a close eye on these symptoms. If there's no improvement or if your puppy's condition worsens, I recommend seeking veterinary care to rule out any serious underlying conditions and to receive appropriate treatment.

If you have any further questions or need more guidance, please feel free to ask. Thank you.
