Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Poor Thanos! He is very young so any vomiting and not holding down meals in a 7 week old puppy is worrisome. Possible causes are: intestinal parasites, viral (especially parvo virus) or bacterial infections, ate something gross, ate something that is stuck and causing a blockage, food allergy/intolerance or a reaction to a new food/treat or table food. I would with hold water and breakfast for a short period of time. In 3 hours if there is not further vomiting off small amounts of water frequently. If he holds the water down then start feeding a bland diet of boiled chicken breast or hamburger with rice. Feed small amounts every 2-3 hours. If at anytime he vomits again or if he refuses to eat he needs to see a Vet. Sooner if non-stop vomiting or he is very lethargic. I wish Thanos a speedy recovery!
