Puppy projectile vomiting orange, rotten egg smell after new food?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | American Pit Bull Terrier | Female | 15 lbs

my puppy has projectile vomiting. The color is an orangeish yellow color and it smells a bit like rotten eggs. I’m very worried and was wondering what I should do. The vomiting started Saturday afternoon at about 2:30 when I fed her beneful puppy chow instead of her usual food. Could that be the problem? She has vomited about 7 times since the first time. Please help.

It seems as Pebbles is suffering from a gastrointestinal condition, possibly an infection. it could also be due to ingestion of a foreign body material. i would recommend taking her to the vet the first chance you get, she will need to be checked first, if the vet thinks it's a simple gastrointestinal infection she will need an anti vomiting injection, antibiotics and a special food for a few days in order to get better.
