If they did not perform diagnostics, that would probably be the next best step. Causes of vomiting in a young dog include food allergy, intestinal obstruction, intestinal parasites, bacterial or viral infection (including Parvo virus), among a few others. Your vet may recommend diagnostics such as bloodwork, parvo testing, intestinal parasite screening, x-rays or ultrasound - not necessarily all at once but prioritizing them based on physical exam findings. The fever could come from bacterial or viral infection, autoimmune disease, or extreme inflammation.
