Congratulations on your new puppies! I am sorry to hear they are not feeling well though. Being so small, I worry that they are becoming dehydrated from the vomiting and diarrhea. They need to see their veterinarian. Sometimes they are ill from the stress of coming to a new home or a diet change. Other times it can be due to intestinal parasites or another infectious causes as they have not been fully vaccinated yet. I hope this helps and they are feeling better soon. Good luck!
