As in puppies this presentation is commonly dietary related, I would suggest to withhold food for the next 6 hours and then start feeding with a bland diet based on boiled chicken and rice in small portion every 4 hours for the following 48hours. Other potential common causes are intestinal parasites and bacterial infection, but self limiting episodes dietary related are by far the most common ones. I would definitively recommend a veterinary check up if the signs persist or you notice diarrhea, more vomiting, lethargy or inappetence.
