Question
Me and My husband just bought a 8 week old pitbull puppy, the lady had spoke with my husband and told him he had, had all of his shoot, all he needed is his 6 months shoots, well we brought him home and he seemed fine, but now we have had him for 3 days now and he is having diarrhea, vomiting water, not eat alot of food and he is not playful with us or other small dogs.

Answer
While it is possible that he is "depressed", I highly doubt that would cause the symptoms he is having. More likely than not, he is sick and should be seen by a veterinarian as soon as possible. Try to note what his stools and his vomit look like (I know that sounds gross, but it will be helpful information for the vet) and keep track of how often he is peeing, eating, and drinking. Please be aware that dehydration can cause serious problems, so make sure that he is getting enough water.
