I'm sorry to hear that Prada is not feeling well. Many things can cause vomiting in young dogs. Intestinal parasites, viral infections such as parvo, a diet sensitivity or eating something she shouldn't have such as a toy are common. If she is acting ill and cannot keep food or water down, she will need to see her veterinarian right away. If she is still acting normal, then continue to give her water, but hold her off of food for 12-18hrs. Resting the GI tract can sometimes resolve these signs. If she continues to vomit, she will need to be seen. I hope this information helps!
