Poor Nunu . Sometimes it is hard to know why a puppy with vomit. IT is possible in such a young dog she ate something she should not of or has parasites. I would recommend taking her to a vet to make sure she is parasite free because she is a puppy. Otherwise I would monitor it at home. If she vomits more than she should go to a vet to make sure she does not have a viral or bacterial infection.. Hope that helps

    I am very sorry to hear that Nunu is experiencing these problems, I am sure it is very unsettling for you both. There are a number of potential causes of such clinical signs, including dietary indiscretion, pancreatitis, parasite infestation, infection, and ingestion of a toxin or poison. I would believe the most likely cause is either intestinal worms or that Nunu has eaten something he shouldn't have. Because you have only noticed these signs over the course of a few days I would continue to monitor Nunu at home. Rest Nunu's gastrointestinal tract by holding back food for a few hours. Then you can continue with a bland and easily digested food of the boiled chicken breast and white rice diet and provide plenty of fresh water. I also find that boiled, mashed skinless sweet potato is helpful for diarrhoea if she begins to also have diarrhoea. If Nunu does not improve in the next day, has profuse vomiting or diarrhoea, you notice fresh blood, Nunu seems lethargic, in pain or depressed I would advise a trip to the veterinarian or start by posting another question here in the forum so I can help you further. You will also want to make sure Nunu is vaccinated against common puppy diseases like Parvo. Here is a link to a broad apwctrum wormer you can use if you havent de-wormed Nunu yet: Www.drsfostersmith.com/product/prod_display.cfm?pcatid=35694 Here are some links to helpful resources for you if diarrhoea begins. https://www.petcoach.co/article/most-common-causes-of-diarrhea-in-dogs/ https://www.petcoach.co/article/6-things-you-can-do-at-home-if-your-pet-has-diarrhea/ I hope that answer was helpful and more importantly that Nunu feels better soon. Warmest regards to you both.
