Vomiting not from stress

Q: I got my puppy 4 day ago and all is well but now my 13+ 3 lb yorkie has been throwing up since late yesterday and I have taken all but a small amount of water away from her .Do you think it could be stress from the new adjustment or from day old water on my porch? I live in North Carolina and she loves the heat and sun bathing but she does take her shade breaks .

A: Vomiting as a result from stress alone is highly unlikely. The causes of vomiting in a 13 year old dog are numerous. Can you give me more information about her attitude, appitite and type of stool? Then I may be able to better advise you.
