Could she have eaten something she shouldn't have? Is she on heartworm/parasite prevention? I would recommend taking her to the vet if the vomiting continues. You can in the meantime withhold her food, but offer plenty of fresh water.

it is possible she could have eaten something she should not have and she is not on anything for heartworm/parasite prevention. Should she be at her age? it has been a couple of hours since the one vomitting incident so i will monitor her further and get her to the vets office if it continues. When they open. Thank you

You're welcome. Yes puppies should ideally start on heartworm/parasite preventon at 8 weeks of age. There are some great products out there - most are chewables given once a month. Good luck with your puppy,
