I'm sorry to hear that your dog isn't feeling well. Given the symptoms of vomiting, diarrhea, lethargy, loss of appetite, and a warm body, there are a few potential causes we should consider. These could range from gastrointestinal infections and dietary indiscretion (such as eating something they shouldn't have) to stress from the new puppy, or even more serious conditions like parvovirus, especially since your dog is still young.

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

First, it's crucial to ensure your dog stays hydrated. Offer small amounts of water frequently, and you might also try offering an electrolyte solution designed for pets.

Next, consider withholding food for 12-24 hours to allow their gastrointestinal tract to settle. After this period, you can introduce a bland diet, such as boiled chicken and rice, in small, frequent meals.

Additionally, keep a close eye on your dog's symptoms. Monitor any changes in behavior, stool consistency, or the frequency of vomiting.

However, given the combination of symptoms and the fact that they have persisted for two days, it is important to seek veterinary care as soon as possible. These symptoms could indicate a more serious underlying condition that requires professional treatment. A veterinarian can perform a thorough examination and may recommend diagnostic tests to determine the exact cause and appropriate treatment.

If you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to ask. Thank you.
