My 6-month puppy has diarrhea and vomiting. When should I see a vet?

Question

My 6 month old puppy has explosive diarrhea and has thrown up 3 times. He's a little shakey but other then that he's acting normal. He has no fever and he's Drinking water. I already have a vet apt scheduled for Thursday. Does he need to go in sooner? I'm really worried!

With hold food for six to twelve hours to have his intestinal tract calm down. If he becomes lethargic or the diarrhea becomes bloody or with a lot of mucus then take him in right away. Give small amounts of water every hour, if he drinks too much at one time that may make the vomiting continue. Keep him quiet and let him rest also.
