At least no more throw ups or diarrhea.
Is there another vet you can get to see this baby....what you are going through is not normal and you need to get a definate diagnosis and some concern from your vet or you will loose this baby....too much Karo and Nutra Cal will cause the diarrhea...so will parvo. I would suggest an emergency vet or a vet school in your area....this baby is sick, it may just be episodes of hypoglycemia, but that is very dangerous and damaging.....If the baby will eat baby food chicken, then just feed that until you can get a vet to take an interest in him. He HAS to eat and drink....how old did you say pup was? Warm goats milk, Pedialyte for hydration is better than just plain water....He may not be resting.....he may be running out of steam. Keep him as quite as possible, because exercise and excitement uses up sugar reserves and can cause hypoglycemia.....
