The mother isn't "cleaning" them. Newborn puppies can't deficate and urinate on their own. The mother licks them to stimulate them to do so.
I think a vet should check out the puppies. the vomiting is a very major concern. But it may be caused because they are not being stimulated to void enough. Try stimulating them every hour or so. Take a paper towel, wash cloth etc. and gently rub. You should see a small amount of urine or feces come out.
Get them checked out, there may be something very wrong. Also the vet can instruct you on the proper way to care for them since the mother doesn't seem to really be that maternal.

call the vet. It is not normal for puppies to throw up and they have very little body weight to lose. You have to clean the puppies continually if the mother will not. Still, call the vet about the vomiting.

ou need to get these puppies and their mother checked by the vet. They're nursing so if they've picked up something, it's from the mother. How old was this dog when you bred her? Her not cleaning them is not what's causing their problem, but you do have to keep it up regularly.

You need to get them seen by a vet immeaditely. I can't imagine why they would throw up as all they have in the stomache should be breast milk. My dog, golden retriever, had 11 puppies and we never had any throwing up.

You should get them to a veterinarian asap. You should also spay her as soon as possible!!
Real breeders would be prepared for anything and would jump in to action the moment something occured, instead of asking Yahoo Answers for help.
I suggest you start finding very good homes for the puppies.
A mom should clean the dog's rears, but some refuse to do it. So of course you have to step in and do it for them.

i think 5 puppies are too much for a chihuahua,maybe they were born with problems. it`d be better to check them in vet`s office
