I'm sorry Chloe was so sick! When a puppy is sick from a GI problem, it can take a few days for them to recover fully from it. You can try feeding him a bland diet of boiled white meat chicken (no bones) and white rice in small amounts several times a day for a couple of days to see if that helps. Then slowly add back in his normal diet. If he still is acting lethargic after this, then I would have him seen by a vet.
