It sounds like your puppy is experiencing diarrhea and occasional vomiting following his recent vaccinations. These symptoms can sometimes occur, but a delay of a week is not typical, and it may indicate another underlying issue.
- Monitor your puppy's symptoms and any changes in behavior.
- Ensure your puppy stays hydrated, especially if experiencing vomiting or diarrhea.
- If known symptoms persist or worsen, consult a veterinarian promptly.
While mild reactions to vaccinations such as slight tiredness or a low-grade fever are common, diarrhea and vomiting are less typical. This late onset of symptoms could suggest your puppy may have eaten something that disagreed with him or contracted a separate illness. It’s important to consult a vet to determine the cause and provide appropriate care.
Book a consultation with a licensed vet at Dial A Vet for just $49 AUD if you're unsure or symptoms are getting worse.

If vomiting persists, it is crucial to maintain your puppy’s hydration and seek veterinary care to prevent dehydration and identify the root cause.
