You said she is playing and active and she just threw up a little, could it be that she just ate? Hopefully she has had all of her shots and her parvo shots as well. Who did you get her from and did you get a history of all her medical care regarding all her shots? If you didn't, I would call whom ever you got her from and request them. It is very important that she has had all her neccessary shots. This being Friday it is hard to get a vet over the weekend in our area, I hope if you do need one in your area that they are available. Did you get her from a breeder in your area? | |

i got her from petland, and she did have all her shots, ive been looking online and some sites say to give her pepto, is that good? her vomit smelled like her poo. she seems kinda tired now, but i guess i'll just watch her all day and if it happens again i'll take to her to the vet 2maro. is there any other more serious signs i should look out for? | |

| I would watch her closely. Sometimes my Lola throws up when she eats too fast. However, she has thrown up several times in a row before and we had to take her to emergency. I would call the vet or a nearby vet emergency and ask them what they think. You don't want her to get dehydrated.
