Maybe the change in her diet was too much for her baby tummy. Usually it's recomended to slowly change them over to a new food- and not just suddenly switch. Maybe the baby food was too rich for her?
She is probably too young and too small to give her any pepto. I would try just giving her some water, even if you just put some on your finger and put it in her mouth. You don't want her to get dehydrated. To tell if she is dehydrated, you can look at her gums and if they are white, or have white patches it means she is getting dehydrated.

That yellow foam is bile. I would take her to the vet, but I'm always paranoid anyway. Tucker was throwing up bile the day before he was diagnosed with Parvo. I'm not trying to scare you or anything, they will throw this up for other reasons. I'm not trying to say she has parvo or anything like that, just saying that maybe something is wrong and I would at least call your vet and tell them the situation. How old is she? I agree, it could just be the change of food. Hope she is better real soon. I know how hard it is to see them sick and feel so helpless.

The yellow stuff is bile, Peanut does that sometimes in the morning when he refuses to eat for too long. I would call the vet and see what they say. I hope she feels better

Not to scare you, but since you just brought a new puppy into your home, I'd call your vet. Just because the vet looked at the puppy a couple days ago doesn't mean he wasn't incubating something. Anyone who would give a 5 week puppy away probably didn't take good care of the mother or the puppies.
Have you been keeping them separate?

Keep us posted.
Thank you all for your responses. I took her to vet and he wanted to keep her until 5pm and give her liquids b4 she got dehydrated, im supposed to call at 3pm to see how she is doing, i mentioned to him about the new puppy and if she could have parvo he said definatly not because she has all her shots. So im going to call in a little bit and ask how shes doing i cried when i left her

If you got Mitzi at 5 weeks, how does the vet know she's had all her shots? I missed something here.
Bless you and Mitzi both.....I know how awful it is to see these tiny ones under the weather and then to have to leave her with STRANGERS!

Even if it is the vet! It's probably nothing serious and I hope she's home in your arms by now.

It is sad to say but the breeders who send the puppies out at 5 weeks do not bother with vaccines.
Maltlover,
I hope your baby is better soon. Please keep us posted.
Hi everyone, and thank you all so much for your well wishes and prayers i really appreciate it. Mitzi didnt come home at 5 weeks this other puppy that was given to me came at that age, mit cam home at 12 weeks she was just throwing up today but since shes been at the vet she hasnt thrown up any more and she came home with 3 meds doc said she probly ate sumtin that messed up her tummy. THanks again everyone God bless.

I think she meant...that the VET meant...

that Mitzi had all her shots...not the pup....but I may be wrong.
But didn't Tucker, who just had a round of parvo on here have his shots too? (Not to freak you out...but just wondering...)

Yes, I just wanted to let you know that Tucker had his entire series of shots and still got parvo. The first day I took him to the vet, they said he ate something that made him sick and sent him home with meds. He was still sick the next day and I took him back. They kept him overnight and didn't find out it was parvo until the next day, because they never thought of checking for parvo since he had all his shots. However, I think it is unusual for them to get it after having the shots, but it can happen obviously. Luckily, my baby survived and seems to be back to perfect health. I hope your pup is much better and like I said before, I'm not trying to scare you, but ever since Tucker went thru all that, I have become paranoid. Just keep your eye on her, which I'm sure you are and best wishes. Hopefully, she will be back to normal in no time.
