My 5 month old pug is shaking very aggressively, throwing up, not eating, and has diarrhea. I don't know what to do. He had his first shot last month. Before that he was fine. Now he just sleeps or lays down all day.

Monty sounds like he is very sick! It sounds like he has only had one round of vaccinations, so he is still susceptible to parvovirus, which can be a life threatening infection. Even if he does not have a parvo infection, vomiting and diarrhea can quickly dehydrate a young puppy. I recommend taking him to your veterinarian. Your veterinarian may want to test for parvovirus. He may need hospitalization and medications to help him feel better. Hope he feels better soon!

Diarrhea and lethargy like Murphy has could be caused by parasites, change in diet, toxin ingestion, infectious viral diseases, blockage in the intestines caused by ingestion of a foreign body, or a mass/growth in the gastrointestinal tract. These is also the possibility of parvovirus infection (a potentially fatal disease that causes gastrointestinal issues such as vomiting and diarrhea) which can be very severe in dogs who have not have been vaccinated. Please make an appointment to have Murphy seen by a veterinarian as soon as possible for diagnosis and treatment, and so that your vet can help get him hydrated in a safe manner. A puppy who is not eating and has diarrhea can develop low blood sugar and dehydration that can be very dangerous if left untreated. You can try boiling some chicken until it is cooked and offering Murphy the broth from it to drink, but he should be seen by a vet asap. I hope Murphy feels better soon!
