I would get her to the vet ASAP. Puppies can become dehydrated quickly, which can lead to all sorts of other problems. It's time for a check up and shots anyway!! Good Luck

I would give your vet a call. It may be nothing but she is pretty young and your vet is the best person to tell you if her symptoms are just an upset tummy or if you need to take her in now. Young puppies can get in trouble pretty quickly with illness.

get her to the vet, if she has not had all her shots, there could be real trouble. Hope you got your girl from a reliable breeder. Sometimes when there are a lot of pups and they look alike...well, somebody could get two shots and somebody could get none. If you don't know the breeder, always err on the side of caution, talk it over with the vet and probably start the shots off as if they haven't gotten any.

Yes, this IS something you need to worry about!!! She could very well be very., very sick, with a virus that may have been preventable if she had her vaccinations. Taking on a dog is a responsibility and that responsibility entails providing veterinary care for that dog, including preventative shots. It is way, way cheaper to get the shots than it is to cure (if possible!!!) the diseases they prevent. Hopefully it is not too late for your pup!

I'd consult a vet. She's young, and she could have a very simple case of kennel cough (runny nose) or just have an upset tummy (vomiting.)

If she's in good spirits, and she's eating normally, those are good signs. But I'd still at least call the vet's office and speak to them about whether or not to bring in her in. That she's fine now is great, but if there is need to see a vet, it's always better to do it sooner rather than later.

I would take her to a vet as soon as possible. if you can't get to a vet soon with hold food for 24 hours but give her plenty of water and rest.

take her to the vet. This could be a good way to stop what ever is going on.
It is not unusual for puppies to catch a bacteria or problem early like this.
hope she feels better soon.
If she is not uptd on her vaccines this could be why she is sick, she may of been around a nasty bacteria somewhere.
If she is sick she will have to be treated first then the shots later.

Yea i agree with the others get a vet check. Also is the dog to active after eating. May want to keep them calm for awhile after eating..
but you need to get it on track for shots.
