Hello, thank you for your question about Lana. Vomiting can be a sign of many possible underlying conditions in dog. It can be indicative of a problem within the GI tract such as obstruction, infection, or inflammation. It can also be indicative of a systemic problem. As Lana is still a puppy and the vomited smelled very strongly I would want to rule out a parvovirus infection. Additionally, puppies can become quite dehydrated even with small amounts of vomiting. I would recommend having Lana seen by your veterinarian so that they can examine her and discuss the need for additional diagnostics such as systemic bloodwork or a test for parvovirus. Depending on the findings of these tests they can then make additional treatment recommendations for Lana. Hope this helps, good luck!
