    They can actually get even more dehydrated, not only do they vomit the water or other fluids you give them but gastric juices as well.
    The puppy sounds like it needs minimally subQ fluids, but from the description she sounds like she may need to have an IV cath and given IV fluids.
    She should go back to your veterinarian. Did you call the breeder and find out if any other pups were sick? A reputable breeder will give you have a health guarantee? Sometimes a sudden change in diet can cause GI probs. There is so many things that can cause her to get sick, viruses, bacterial infections, toxicity, stress, etc...she really needs to be seen by a good vet. Emergency clinics are open weekends, some of the best vets I known worked in EC...so much more acute cases.
    good luck, I hope she gets well soon.
