It sounds like Champ is going through a bit of a rough patch, but it's reassuring to hear that he's showing some signs of improvement. Vomiting in puppies can stem from various causes, such as dietary indiscretion, mild infections, or even stress. Given that he's still quite young, it's essential to keep a close watch on him.

To help Champ at home, there are a few steps you can take. First, make sure he stays well-hydrated. Offer him small amounts of water frequently. If he's hesitant to drink, you might try giving him ice cubes to lick or a little low-sodium chicken broth to encourage him.

Regarding his diet, since he's not eating much, you could try offering him bland foods like boiled chicken and rice in small portions. This might be gentler on his stomach and could tempt him to eat.

It's also important to let him rest as much as he needs. Puppies require a lot of sleep, especially when they're not feeling their best.

Keep a close eye on his symptoms. If he continues to vomit, refuses to drink, or appears severely lethargic, it would be wise to consult a veterinarian.

Since he's a young puppy, preventing dehydration and weakness is crucial. If his symptoms worsen or if he doesn't start to improve, seeking veterinary care would be the best course of action.

If you have any more questions or need further assistance, please feel free to reach out. Thank you.
