My new puppy has diarrhea & vomiting on first night. Stress or sick?

I just got a 10 week old puppy today and she was fine during the day but she started having diarrhea and vomiting during the night. She's still energetic and playful and it is her first night with us. Is she sick or is she stressed?

It could be stress or illness. There is no way for me to tell you for sure without examining her myself. If she acting otherwise normally you can just watch her for now but if the vomiting and/or diarrhea continues then you need to get her to a vet ASAP.
