Hello, sorry to hear about Lola. It depends on how long the vomiting has been going on for. If she has vomited once, then give her some time for the nausea to resolve and feed her some puppy food. If the vomiting persists longer than 2 days, or if she vomits more than 3-4 times in one day then she needs to be evaluated promptly. Alternatively, if you believe that there could be lead or other toxins in the corroded pipe, then you should have her evaluated immediately. Continue to monitor her for persistent vomiting, decreased appetite, diarrhea or lethargy and contact your veterinarian if you note any. Hope this helps and best of luck!
