Anyway, b/c he is so tiny I would bring him to the Vet and let them give him fluids. My TJ was very sick when he was young and tiny. I used to put Pedialyte in a syringe and force it down. I also would give a tiny bit of boiled chicken and I would drizzle honey on top.

Best of luck and keep us posted
I agree ....due to his size it's better to be safe than sorry and they can really dehydrate very easily at this young age (and size) ...poor baby - I hope he feels better and when mine were little - boiled chicken and white rice helped with tummy problems. I hope your vet was careful in the shots - these little dogs cant be treated like their larger size counterparts...in the future - you could get the shots spaced out over time instead of all at once
