My puppy is throwing up and dry heaving with a rumbling stomach. Why?

Question

My 3 pound puppy threw up three times today. Twice within two minutes and the next about 30 minutes later after giving her a little goats milk. She will wake up and start to play and bite me and then will start dry heaving for a few seconds and stop. While laying with her while she was sleeping, her tummy was rumbling pretty loud. Pet's info: Dog | Schnoodle | Female | unspayed | 2 months and 9 days old | 3 lbs

Poor girl. Unfortunately my major concern here is that Winnie may have a foreign body. I would highly recommend fasting her for 6hrs and then offer her a small portion of boiled plain chicken or lean ground turkey and white rice and small amounts of non-flavored Pedialyte to keep her hydrated until you can get her seen by your vet. The vet needs to do a complete physical examination and likely will recommend x-rays if a foreign body ingestion is suspected. Best case scenario is that Winnie has a really upset stomach from something she ingested and not a true obstruction. However, the next best thing is to get her seen by your vet as soon as they are open in the morning. I do hope that Winnie feels better soon! Best of luck and take care
