It really depends on the clinical signs and condition of your puppy. If the puppy is vomiting than he probably will just vomit up the food. If he is able to keep food down without vomiting than you could feed a small amount of a bland diet and see how he does. He may need intravenous or subcutaneous fluids, anti-vomiting medications, and an antibiotic so he should be treated by a vet.
