Without the full history and diagnosis from your vet it is impossible for us to guess what they gave him but you should contact your vets office and inform them of his good progress and they can help as to whether he must complete a full course or if he is ok. Temporary diarrhoea is very common in new pups moving house but certain medicatons such as antibiotics if given should be completed as prescried. Vaccinations depend very much on the risk factors in your area so your local vets office would best placed to advise - most puppies require a course of 2-3vaccines coverning the diseases present in your area to reduce the risk of them contracting certain serious illnesses.
