My mini poodle has had diarrhea since Saturday night. I've started him on a rice and boiled chicken diet but this morning he threw up and it looked liked scrambled eggs and he still has diarrhea and I'm not able to take him to the vet till Friday what should I do?

Friday is way too long, he must get veterinary treatment before that, he needs an anti vomiting injection this is the first thing that needs to be done as if he carries on vomiting nothing can be given to him orally. you tried the boiled chicken and rice, this is usually my first advice as well, but since it didn't do the trick, he must see a vet ASAP.
