Hello. I am so sorry that Cleo has been vomiting. Vomiting can be caused by dietary indiscretion ( getting into the garbage ), a bacterial infection, an intestinal blockage from ingesting something, or a virus like Parvo. If she is eating, then feeding small amounts of a bland diet made up of boiled chicken & plain white rice might correct her upset. But if she refuses food &/or has diarrhea, then she really needs to be seen by a veterinarian. A puppy this young can become dehydrated in as little as a day & that will be very dangerous to her overall health. I hope she is doing better soon & thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.

Did he eat the litter also? I would recommend taking him to a veterinarian especially if he got some of the litter. This can cause an obstruction. With how young and small he is he can get dehydrated and sick pretty fast. Thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
