It sounds like your young dog is going through a tough time with symptoms like diarrhea, vomiting, lethargy, and a loss of appetite. These signs can be quite concerning, especially since they've been present for a couple of days. The shaking of her legs during bowel movements and the redness in her eyes suggest she might be feeling unwell or stressed.

Diarrhea in puppies can stem from various causes, such as dietary changes, infections, parasites, or stress. Given that she's also vomiting and appears lethargic, it's crucial to keep a close watch on her. Here are a few steps you can take at home to help her:

First, make sure she stays hydrated by offering small amounts of water frequently to prevent dehydration. You might also consider giving her an electrolyte solution specifically designed for pets.

Next, you can withhold food for 12 to 24 hours to allow her digestive system to rest, but continue to provide water. After this period, gradually introduce a bland diet, like boiled chicken and rice, in small, frequent meals.

Additionally, try to maintain a calm and stress-free environment for her, as stress can worsen gastrointestinal issues.

Keep a close eye on her symptoms. If the diarrhea continues, or if she keeps vomiting, becomes more lethargic, or shows any other concerning signs, it would be wise to consult a veterinarian. They can conduct tests to rule out infections or other underlying conditions and provide the appropriate treatment.

Given her age and the combination of symptoms, it's important to monitor her condition closely. If you have any further questions, please feel free to ask. Thank you.
