I am sorry to hear about Luna. I would just monitor her closely for the next day. Offer smaller meals more often rather than one or two large meals. Monitor her energy level and her bowel movements. If the vomiting continues, or if she becomes lethargic or develops diarrhea then a trip to the vet is needed as in a puppy this age we worry about things like parvo virus, intestinal parasitism, and ingestion of foreign objects with these signs.
