the puppy is no longer with her mother, and her brother is eating just fine from the bottle. She was eating okay but a day ago she stopped and we feed her as much as we can with a dropper. Tonight through I was feeding her and she is throwing up everything that I'm putting in her. Please help this dog.

That is most likely hookworms, roundworms, coccidia, or giardia (often a combination of the above) at that age. Get thee to thy veterinarian's office pronto. They can die literally overnight.
If you're bottle-feeding, it could also be dehydration from using the wrong formula, or aspiration pneumonia. In that case....also get to your veterinarian ASAP. Why were they taken away from their mother so soon???!! Are they orphans?
If the pup's temp is too low, its stomach will 'reject' anything put into it, even if the milk is at the correct temp. Pups that age cannot regulate their body temp on their own.....it really concerns me if these pups were removed from their mother for no good reason. :-/
PLEASE do not give goat's milk. I don't care how many breeders tell you they do it. Goat's milk is NOT close enough to dog's milk to be used as a substitute. They can't digest it properly. Diluting it doesn't solve that problem. I've seen too many pups die or become critically ill because breeders were too cheap to buy puppy replacer milk.

Are you giving it puppy formula? Cow's milk is not proper nutrition for the Puppy. The Mother is best but feeding it every 2 hrs from a bottle should work. Try dipping the nipple in sugar water to ge the puppy interested, make sure the formula is warm and not too hot.

Go to the vet NOW or your puppy may die. If he hasn't eaten in 3 or 4 days and is throwing up that is very bad. He could have a blockage in his intestines. Deal with the peeing issue later.

Try giving this pup some goat milk mixed half and half with sterile water only.This can be purchased at any grocery and comes in a can like Pet or Carnation evaporated milk.Never give a pup homognized milk.The coat milk is easy to digest and I feed all my newborns this if bottle fed.If the pup throws this up ,then get some baby no flavored pediolyte,warm it and give in the place of milk for a few hours.Also if the nausea doesn't stop,give it a dab of honey or plain karo syrup on your finger to keep its sugar level up.

Can you fed her small, tiny amounts for her to hold down; are you snuggling her with wrapping towel with brother while you are feeding her; pups need to stay warm as well and they cuddle with other siblings more than with Mom; try this until you can get to vet but don't wait; there are emergency services that may help as well. Pups have to pull to draw the milk and press on the mom to move the milk down; or use warm water in a zip lock bag or something similar, wrapped in towel and prop up bottle or tuck in and see if she will get the scent and go near it ; if not, try small portions; it can get messy. Let her cuddle with her brother as well; good luck - call a vet !

when was the last time you Fed her. She needs to eat every 4 hours if you feed more than that she will throw it up.
if that's not the issue take her to the vet.
all dogs are born with worms she may have them worst than others.

She could die by morning if you don't get something down her till you get her to the vet. ASAP, yesterday man !!! I am not being silly here but if she is 15 days old then she is giving up. Please for your sake, take it to the vet, and e-mail me and let me know if she was alright or what happened.

Take her to the vet immediately. 15 day old puppies can dehydrate very quickly.
