My puppy isn't eating puppy chow anymore and will not eat table food. I gave her pork on Sunday and she doesn't seem to want anything but that. But today i realised that she vomited and when i gave her pork she vomited the pork she isn't eating a thing. What can i do??

Hi and thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Sorry to hear Bailey is having this problem. You may have to experiment with various puppy foods to see which one she prefers to eat and that you feel comfortable purchasing. Table food is discouraged for many reasons especially since it can cause stomach/gut problems. You can also try to flavor the dry food with some chicken broth to see if she will eat it. If she is not wanting to eat with or without vomiting/diarrhea, you should take her to your vet and have her evaluated. Not eating is serious especially in small breed puppies. Not eating can be caused by parasites (worms), infection, inflammation, not liking the food, etc. Your vet can evaluate her, run some tests (fecal, blood, etc) and advise what treatment is needed or they can just suggest nutritional things to try. I hope Bailey gets well soon.
