Puppy throws up daily after eating fast but seems fine. Should I worry?

Question

My puppy has been throwing up once a day for the past three days. She is playful and seems fine. However she does use muscle to throw up. I think it might be because she is eating quick. Should I be concerned with her throw up? Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Female | unspayed | 4 months and 4 days old | 2.1 lbs

If she is vomiting within a few minutes after eating, then she probably is eating too fast. There are a number of things you can try. You can get a slow feeder or a puzzle feeder ( or get a couple of river rocks or glass eggs to put on top of the food in her dish so she has to nose them around to get to her food. Make sure the items are far too big for her to swallow. Any of these should slow her down enough to keep her from regurgitating her food. If none of these are effective, take her in to see your vet to make sure it isn't a sign of an underlying problem.
