Pet's info: Dog | Australian Shepherd - miniature | Male | unneutered | 5 lbs

I have a 9 week old Shepard and Austrailian Shepard mix and since I brought him home he vomits a little bit after eating it's never been frothy it's normally just his food or water he's drank he gets up and plays but he also likes to lounge a lot I have only had him a couple days so I don't know really what's the norm for him I'm concerned it's parvo what's should I do next?

Vomiting is never normal. It sounds as Bear 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 him to the vet the first chance you get, he will need to be checked first, if the vet thinks it's a simple gastrointestinal infection he will need an anti vomiting injection, antibiotics and a special food for a few days in order to get better.
