My 5-month-old puppy is vomiting, not playful, and heart racing. Why?

Question

Our 5 mo old puppy hasn been vomited the whole days worth of food a couple times a day, not playful, and I think a fast heart rate. And she just came off an antibiotic for infection a couple weeks ago. Pet's info: Dog | Labrador Retriever | Female | unspayed | 5 months and 12 days old | 29 lbs

Poor Lola! This vomiting could be caused by a GI illness, eating something rotten, a foreign body, intestinal parasites, or pancreatitis. If she has been vomiting for less than 24 hours, I can give you a home remedy to try to see if that helps before having to take Lola into the vet. Withhold food for 12-24 hours, then feed a bland diet of boiled white meat chicken (no bones) and white rice in small amounts several times a day for a couple of days. Then slowly add back in her normal diet. If the vomiting continues in the absence of food, she vomits the bland diet, develops diarrhea, stops drinking water, starts vomiting water, or becomes very lethargic, she will need to see a vet right away.
