Hello. At such a young age, we still have to worry about some of the puppy diseases, including Distemper & Parvo, even if she has had 1 or 2 vaccines. Watch her closely over the next 24 hours & if she seems to be worse in terms of not wanting to eat, being a little lethargic, or increased vomiting, please see your veterinarian. Puppies will eat anything at this age, so it is just possible she has a bit of an upset tummy. You should know better which way this will go in the next day or so. If she feels like eating, I would feed her on schedule, but perhaps feed just a little less than normal until you see where this goes. I hope she is feeling better soon. Thanks for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
