Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. All of these signs could simply be caused by the sudden change in food and the stress of a new home. I would wait 4 hours past the last episode of vomiting and feed her a little puppy food mixed with plain cooked white rice to help settle her stomach. Do this for a few days, slowly replacing more and more rice with puppy food. A little soft stool is OK as long as her attitude and appetite are great and it goes away within 3 days. Do not vaccinate her if there is any vomiting, diarrhea, lethargy, or lack of appetite. If she vomits profusely (more than 4 times in an hour or 6 times in a day), or if she is lethargic, has diarrhea that is severe, or refuses to eat for more than 12 hours, she needs to see a vet IMMEDIATLEY for a parvo test and proper treatment regardless of cause. These little guys can get seriously ill very quickly from dehydration and low blood sugar, so early and aggressive treatment is warranted if signs become severe. Best wishes to you and JaZmen!
