I'm really sorry to hear that your puppy isn't feeling well. Given that your puppy has ingested an edible and is experiencing multiple episodes of vomiting, loss of appetite, and behavioral changes, this situation is quite concerning. Edibles, especially those containing substances like THC, can be toxic to dogs and cause significant health issues.

First and foremost, make sure your puppy is in a quiet, comfortable place where they can rest without any further stress or stimulation. It's important to keep them as calm as possible.

Since vomiting can lead to dehydration, offer small amounts of water frequently to keep your puppy hydrated. However, avoid giving them any food until the vomiting subsides to prevent further stomach upset.

Keep a close eye on your puppy's behavior and symptoms. Note any changes in their condition, such as increased lethargy, tremors, or continued vomiting. This information will be crucial for your veterinarian.

Given the severity of the symptoms and the potential toxicity of the ingested substance, it's crucial to contact your veterinarian or an emergency animal clinic right away. They can provide the necessary treatments, such as IV fluids, anti-nausea medications, and other supportive care.

Ingesting edibles can be very serious for dogs, and prompt veterinary attention is essential to ensure your puppy's safety and well-being. If you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to ask. Thank you.
