Since Prince is a puppy I recommend a veterinary exam. With not eating or drinking and having diarrhea he can become severely dehydrated. They will give fluids to prevent dehydration, and medicine for the vomiting and diarrhea. They may check a fecal for intestinal parasites and do blood tests to check for infection and to make sure his organs are functioning normally. With treatment he should improve. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach to help you care for Prince.
