That is a normal temp for a dog, so that is a good sign. As far as the vomiting and diarrhea is concerned if she is eating and acting normal you can try a bland diet such as boiled chicken and rice for a few days. However, if she is lethargic, not eating well, has any blood in her stool, or otherwise appears sick then she should be seen by a veterinarian immediately. Best of luck and I hope she improves quickly. Thank you for using Pet Coach.
