What do I do?

[Chic]

Just got my Yorkie, he's 5 years old, I had her a week now, she has no teeth, she was eating good, now he's puking up all her food, I don't know to do. Can you suggest something!

Well for one thing is this a she or a he I cant follow your post. How long has he/she been vomiting if more than one day may need to see a vet.

He's not acting sickly! Still playful. Bowels normal. So far no more, he's looking for food again. He's 5 years old.

I would suggest that if the dog puked blood or what looks like coffee grounds in the vomit, go to an Emergency Vet now. If it was normal vomit, see #11 below. Bear in mind that your dog can become dehydrated and very ill if she is vomiting often so if she's vomited more than twice in the last 24 hours, I would seek the attention of a vet, especially if there are ANY more symptoms such as refusing food, water, sleepiness, weakness/inability to stand, pale or tacky gums.

Dogs instinctively don't show illness or pain if they can help it so just because he doesn't act sick right now doesn't at all mean he's not. Just read my post about when to see veterinary care and watch him for any other signs of changes in behavior or eating or sleeping patterns. Changes in behavior and changes in eating, drinking patterns are often the ONLY way a dog has of telling us he's ill, aside from vomiting, diarrhea, etc.
