I would recommend that you have your puppy examined by a vet. Vomiting in puppies is common, and can be caused by dietary intolerance or indiscretion (eating something that could get stuck), intestinal parasites, GI blockage, gastroenteritis, bacterial or viral infection (such as parvo virus), pancreatitis, among others. After examination and discussing her medical history, the vet may recommend testing for parvo or intestinal parasites. Once they have a better idea as to the cause of the vomiting and poor appetite they can recommend an appropriate treatment.
