The sad thing is No. if the animal is presently vomiting anything even water will just be expelled by the body.
If you can get to a Vet late night I would do so. Vomiting like that for such a young puppy will make things worse real fast. The bad news, is it maybe bad enough that the puppy would need to stay overnight at the vets office on I.V. fluids.
Let me know how things went.

How come the puppy didn't stay for I.V. fluids. was it a money issue?.I only ask so I have an idea on how better to advise you.
are you trying with a dropper or do you think your Vet could give you a syringe (w/o needle of course.)
