Default puppy laying on side

A friend of mine bought a yorkie from a good breeder. We both have known her for 2 years. Her puppy was a little wobby and vommitting about 2 weeks ago. She gave him nutrical, pedialyte,and chicken (wouldn't eat his puppy food) and kept him warm. It took him about a day to get back on his feet and eating again. It has been about 12 days and she called me a little while ago telling me that he was laying on his side with his head arched back in his little bed. She said his nose was tucked down in the corner of the bed. She gave him no nutrical again and some "puppy formula" she bought. I told her to keep him warm and give him some nutri-cal again and go to the vet. I have had a hypo incident once with one of my tinies, but never had it repeated so I am not sure what else to tell her. My concern for her and her little baby is the he was laying with his head arched back and had vommiited a bit of foamy fluid. She said one of his legs was wet too, but yet his bottom was dry. She also said his face was matted with fluid (vomit I assume). My friend won't give her baby back so that is not an option and the breeders pups and adults are all healthy.. Ok while I was typing this I got another call and she said he is a bit wobbly but is back to being more himself. Wiggling out of the blankets and being all kissy kissy to her and climbing up on her chest.. Any suggestions? ? Would this just be hypo or something else. I have not had to really deal with that with my dogs or puppies, so I am not sure what to tell her than what I already have. Thanks
