My 6-week GSD puppy threw up white after vaccination. What's wrong?

Updated on September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | German Shepherd | Female | unspayed

We got out female gsd puppy 3 days ago and she is of 6-7 weeks of age. She is acting fine, playing around and sleeping when tired. But today suddenly she puked. And it was of (kinda) white color. Yesterday she took sometime to poop but otherwise it's fine. We got her vaccinated yesterday and also changed her diet a little bit by adding small amount of pedigree as told by her vet. We usually give her cerelac. I noticed she might have drank a little more water today. I'm worried about the vomit.

I recommend to call your veterinarian. Puppies can vomit for many reasons but something like a vaccine reaction may be the cause and this needs to be treated. Your vet will make a recommendation based upon her exam yesterday.
Just so you know, German Shepherds need to eat diets formulated for large breed puppies. This helps to ensure that they grow and develop properly. I recommend Royal Canin German Shepherd Puppy. It will ensure even, normal growth and is very easy to digest because the GSD can be prone to an upset stomach. I hope this helps and please feel free to post any additional questions.
