If he starts vomitting or having diarrhea, get him to a vet ASAP.

If it's hypoglycemia, he needs some to get his blood sugar back up. The syrup will give him an instant spike but then its important he eat as well. If he starts to get worse or the syrup & food aren't helping - he needs to go to the vet.
I agree. Any immunity a puppy still has from nursing usually kills off those first shots leaving a puppy completely unprotected from deadly diseases like parvo. No way should puppies be taken to parks, pet stores or even common areas in apartments or neighborhoods until they've had all their shots, usually around 4&1/2 months.
