Poor Hades! These symptoms are concerning, especially in a young puppy. Diarrhea and vomiting can be caused by internal parasites, gastroenteritis, sudden diet change, or something more serious like parvovirus. Because he is so young he is susceptible to dehydration which can eventually become life-threatening. It is important to have him seen by a veterinarian soon. A vet can perform a physical exam and recommend what type of further testing might be needed to find an answer and get him feeling back to his normal self soon.
