My 7-month-old Rottweiler mix puppy, Rocco, has been experiencing liquid, watery diarrhea since about 9pm and is now vomiting as well. He threw up twice within 10 minutes. I don't think he ate anything unusual today, and he didn't spend any time outside alone. He's also shaking and not really sleeping. Should I put him in the kennel for sleep or let him stay in bed with us?

I have a 2 and 3 year old husky who have only had their first round of shots and my puppy just passed away from parvo.
