My 6-month Maltipoo puppy throws up after eating. Why and what to do?

Question

I have a 6 month old maltipoo puppy who would sometimes not eat her dry food and later on she would eat it later and throw up. I don’t know why this happens to her . I would give her one spoon full of pepto-bismol. I want to know why this happens to her frequently . Also what can I do to make her feel better at my house . Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Small (up to 22lb) | Female | unspayed | 4 months and 29 days old | 16 lbs

Hi there! Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Vomiting is sometimes seen with conditions such as inflammatory bowel disease, dietary indiscretion, pancreatitis and chronic kidney disease, among many other conditions. Given Bella's young age and the fact that she is otherwise doing fine, dietary indiscretion appears more likely. It may be something as easy as just changing her diet to something that she can tolerate better. However, an examination by a veterinarian as well as minimal diagnostic data would be needed to rule out more concerning things. You can start by changing her diet to a sensitive stomach type diet. If no improvement, have her examined by a veterinarian to start therapy if needed based on findings. Good luck!
