Please keep an eye on George. As long as he's eating and no more diarrhea or vomiting it's nothing to be overly concerned about. Puppies often get upset stomachs from changes in food, eating things in the house and yard and from parasites. I recommend a fecal check for parasites and routine deworming due to his age. If the vomiting and diarrhea continue, especially if there is blood in the diarrhea take him in for an exam promptly. When puppies do get gastroenteritis or parvovirus they get very ill quickly and need veterinary care right away for them to recover quickly.
