It sounds like your Australian Shepherd is having some digestive troubles, and there could be several reasons behind this. Let's go through a few possibilities and discuss some steps you can take at home to help her feel better.

Firstly, puppies are naturally curious and might eat things they shouldn't, which can upset their stomachs. Make sure she doesn't have access to trash, table scraps, or any non-food items that could be causing her discomfort.

Another possibility is that she might have a food sensitivity or allergy. If there have been any recent changes to her diet, or if you suspect she might be reacting to something in her current food, it might be worth considering.

Sometimes, changes in her environment or routine can also affect her appetite and digestion. Try to keep her feeding schedule and environment as consistent as possible to minimize stress.

It's also crucial to ensure she stays hydrated, especially if she's experiencing diarrhea. Offer her fresh water regularly to keep her hydrated.

You might also try feeding her smaller, more frequent meals to see if that helps with her digestion.

Lastly, keep an eye out for any additional symptoms such as lethargy, blood in her stool, or continued vomiting, as these could indicate a more serious issue.

If her symptoms persist or worsen, it would be wise to consult with a veterinarian. They can perform a thorough examination and possibly recommend dietary changes or treatments. If you have any further questions, please feel free to ask. Thank you.
