Answers:
Classy Granny is absolutely correct. If you bought the flea control at Walmart or any place other than your vets office, you could be in trouble. Please have a look at this link.

If you bought it from your vet, give your vet a call and let him know what's happening. If you bought the flea product from a discount store, then a vet visit is strongly recommended.
Get her to an emergency vet now!! She is having a toxic reaction to the flea med!! She could die!
If the puppy was having a reaction to the flea control you would have probably seen it within a day or so. Lethargic puppies that don't want to eat and are throwing up are typically very ill. Get that pup to a vet ASAP!
If you used flea control that you bought in a drug store or pet store I would get your puppy to a vet immediately. OTC flea treatments don't work and can make an animal sick.
It was too much for such a young dog. I am presuming it became toxic in the liver is shutting down. Lots of fluids, and do not give it anymore for a year. Next time do half dose...that should help...if it stays lethagic take it to the vet
