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.
