Hi Nyx! What a cutie! I'm sorry he's been feeling under the weather. You'll want to remove his food and offer a bland dieting of boiled chicken and rice until the vomiting subsides. This will help to ease the stomach a bit along with plenty of fresh drinking water. Be sure to monitor him for any changes in bowel movement and behavior as well. Take a picture of the vomit with your phone, if you can and take it in to your local Veterinarian if the vomiting hasn't stopped in the next 24-48 hours.

Throwing up undigested food could have seveal causes, the most likely cause being that she eats too much too fast. If she otherwise appears healthy, you should feed her separate from the other dogs, and preferably divide her daily ration over three to four feeds a day, so she cannot gorge herself. If she eats too much too fast the kibble expands in her stomach and activates the pressure receptors that protect from over-filling and she regurgitates the food. The competition with the others is likely causing this. If she appears lethargic or ill you will need to take her to a veterinarian for an exam as there may be a gastro-intestinal problem.

It may be a bit too soon to determine whether or not the new diet is helping. I typically recommend sticking to a diet for 2-4 weeks to see if gastrointestinal signs improve. There might also be some other things to test for - you may want to check in with your vet and see if there is anything else they would recommend.

Poor puppy! 3 times in such a short time frame is a bit excessive and worrisome . However it is good that she is having normal bowels, as this rules out a complete intestinal obstruction, although a partial obstruction is still possible and should be considered for any puppy with excessive vomiting of undigested food. However the delayed vomiting could also indicate she has a bought of ileus (delayed stomach and intestinal motility). If she is stable otherwise (pink gums, normal breathing, alert and responsive), then you can wait another hour or so and see if she stops the vomiting. At which point I would recommend fasting her (water only, no food) for roughly 4-6 hrs (no longer bc she is a pup) and then offering her small amounts of boiled plain chicken and rice or cottage cheese. You can also try slightly warmed cans of baby food. While she is being fasted, offer her small amounts of Pedialyte via syringe or small turkey baster to help combat any dehydration. Puppies get dehydrated fairly quickly! If she improved she may have just eaten something she shouldn't have. If she does not improve or continues the vomiting episodes for the next hour or so, then you should take her to your nearest ERver right away for diagnostics (i.e. Radiographs + blood work) and treatment.
