Black lab puppy

Question
Hi, our 9 week old puppy got into our 3 year old dogs food and ate a whole bowl full of it.  Shortly after she started vomiting.  She vomited 3 times and has diarrhea.  We have offered her a little bit of water but she is not interested.  This has all taken place in the last 5 hours.  Do I need to be concerned?  What should we look out for?

Answer
Your best bet is to withhold food and water from the pup for 4-6 hours and then start reintroducing small amounts of water first, if she holds that down then offer very small amounts of her regular food every 1-2 hrs. If the vomiting continues she will get dehydrated which will certainly require a trip to the vet.
