As long as Savannah is playing, eating, and does not have a fever, your veterinarian will probably be comfortable giving her vaccines tomorrow. If they have any concern about her not being up for the vaccines they will certainly let you know. Try to bring a fresh fecal sample with you to the appointment so she can be tested for fecal parasites. Fecal parasites are very common and the leading cause of diarrhea in very young puppies and kittens. I hope she's feeling better (and not leaving skid marks!) soon.
