soooo. .. what did the vet say?? If you don't like what he said or you aren't seeing results.. then you need a new vet.. Don't assume because someone is a vet, that they have all the answers.. You know your dog, if he is sick, and you aren't pleased with his treatment, then you find a new vet that will help you find out what the problem is..

first of all, was bloodwork done? and if so, did it show any abnormalities? Did the vet say the dog has an upset stomach, a virus or somethng else? You're not giving us much to go on here. We can't tell you how to make your dog better if you don't provide sufficient information or a diagnosis.
Does your puppy have all his shots plus his final rabies? Do you have any other animals he could have picked something up from? If he is vomitting or has diarrhea, he is probably severely dehydrated. You can not feed a dog that is vomitting as anything that goes in will come right out.
As one other member said, if you did not get a proper diagnosis from the current vet, go to another immediately. Do not leave a young puppy like this in distress as it could be fatal.

I'm getting so tired of telling people this - GO BACK TO THE VET.
Vets are medical professionals, but they aren't miracle workers. Most of the time it takes more than one visit to fix things!!
If the vet doesn't hear from you, he'll assume all is well with your puppy. You need to tell them there's still a problem!
Honestly, if the vet hasn't made your pup better yet, what exactly do you think the people on yahoo answers are going to do?!

if the dog has been to the vet, and you followed his instructions he should be getting better. I would go to a different vet and get a second oppnion. Don't wait! your poor dog needs you to do this quickly

Call the vet and tell him this - no one here can diagnose your dog, we can't see him and we are not vets.
The vet you had him to does know your dog - he needs to go back to him - call your vet today.

Either go back to the vet or get a new one.

Try changing his food and not giving him soft food.
