Poor pup! I would try a home remedy to see if that will stop the vomiting and diarrhea, and if it does, then you can give him the deworming treatment with the bland diet I will give you. Withhold food for 12-24 hours, then feed 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. Then slowly add back in his normal diet. If he keeps vomiting in the absence of food, vomiting on the bland diet, or has diarrhea on the bland diet, he will need to see the vet right away.
