Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Poor Silky! Causes of vomiting and diarrhea are: dietary indiscretion (ate or given something that is upsetting her stomach), intestinal parasites, viral or bacterial infections, food allergy/intolerance. It is possible that the vomiting and diarrhea is from the meat that was fed to her but there are many other things. I would have her seen by your Vet since it has been several days. She is very young and we do not want puppies sick for that long. You can feed her a bland diet of boiled chicken breast mixed with rice. Feed the bland diet until 2 normal stools. You Vet was correct in giving her another vaccine. We booster the DHPP vaccine every 3-4 weeks until they have 2 past 12 weeks of age. If the vomiting and diarrhea happened after the vaccines then she could be having a reaction. I hope this helps and I wish Silky a speedy recovery!
