Pure Golden Retriever just brought home, ~3 months, afraid to leave the house

My dog has a good appetite but convulsions, whimpers at night, is feverish, and hospital treatment failed

My puppy was bathed at the clinic, caught a chill on the way home, rode an hour in the car, and since 7:50 has been coughing, gagging, and vomiting clear fluid; two soft stools; given doxycycline. What should I do?
Coughing and gagging after a bath and chill are usually a respiratory infection; doxycycline with an expectorant can help. Keep the dog warm and well-nourished. If it worsens or shows other signs, suspect viral disease and see a vet.
What happens when a puppy gets vaccinated?
Vaccines prevent distemper, parvovirus, hepatitis, leptospirosis, rabies, etc. Some dogs feel brief discomfort like fever or low appetite for 2-3 days; keep the environment clean and see a vet if it persists.
