I've seen a puppy die from parvovirus after 3 days of vomiting and diarrhea and not eating. Granted that was a very severe case, but it illustrates the point that you should see a vet. It could be something simple, or very serious. One way to tell is by checking for dehydration. Dehydration can be fatal. If you pinch a bit of skin on your puppies neck where the mother picks it up and pull it away from the neck a little ways, then let go, a normal dog's skin should snap back in less than 2 seconds. If it takes longer there is some dehydration present. The longer it takes, generally the worse it is. It's not a perfect test, but if you can tell it's abnormal then this is definitely serious. Dehydration in a vomiting dog should not be treated at home. They need IV fluids. Your vet can tell you more once they've seen your dog.

she might have coccitya ( spelling?) it is an internal disease that causes a few things... vomiting, decrease in eating, bloody stool, dehydration. It can be treated very easy with a simple liquid med. called alabon or panacur. Just take her to the vet and let them diagnose it and prescibe med. the sooner the better. It also could be Parvo which is like coccitya, but much much more serious. Parvo is prevented by giving them there puppy shots ( 6, 9, 12, 16 wks old)

THERE IS DEFINETELY SOMETHING WRONG! TAKE HER TO THE VET IMMEDIATELY!!!
Puppies are very prone to viral and most often deadly diseases such as parvo and distemper. A health pup would eat like a pig. Your's isn't eating at all...for 2 days. Afcourse there is something terribly wrong. Puppies also dehydrate at a very quick rate, so the longer you wait to treat, the longer she will have to stay at the vets...therefore the bigger the bills. Take her to a vet ASAP!!! Good luck!

Check to see if she is pooping. If not she may have a blockage. The other issue is with Parvo which is highly contagious and deadly. She needs to see a vet, soon.

It could be the food(if it's not soft enough) however after two days you really should check with a veterinarian, it could be a sign of more serious illnesses .

Well ya! she needs to go to the vet. Pups dehydrate very quickly and if she is throwing up than she needs vet care quickly.

Could be Parvo if she doesn't have her shots.
Call the vet immediately!
Good Luck!
