It sounds like your puppy is experiencing some concerning symptoms, such as vomiting, lethargy, loss of balance, and weakness in her back legs. These signs could point to a variety of issues, including gastrointestinal upset, neurological problems, or even a reaction to something she might have ingested.

The yellow color of her vomit often indicates bile, which can occur when a dog vomits on an empty stomach or has an upset stomach. While episodic vomiting can sometimes be triggered by dietary indiscretion or stress, the presence of additional symptoms like lethargy and weakness makes it more concerning.

Here are a few steps you can take at home to help her:

First, consider withholding food for a few hours to allow her stomach to settle. After this period, you can offer her small amounts of bland food, such as boiled chicken and rice, to see if she can keep it down.

It's also important to ensure she has access to fresh water to prevent dehydration, especially if she's been vomiting. Allow her to rest in a quiet, comfortable area to help her recover from any fatigue.

Keep a close eye on her symptoms. If the vomiting persists, or if her balance and leg weakness do not improve, it would be wise to seek veterinary attention.

Given her age and the combination of symptoms, it's crucial to monitor her closely. Puppies can deteriorate quickly, so if her condition worsens or if new symptoms arise, I recommend contacting a veterinarian for a thorough examination.

If you have any further questions or need additional guidance, please feel free to ask. Thank you.
