Your Westie puppy is experiencing some typical symptoms of teething, but the combination of acting "out of sorts" and vomiting is a reason for concern.
- Teething can cause discomfort and irritability
- Vomiting is not a typical teething symptom
- Consult a professional to rule out other issues
While it's common for puppies to display discomfort when teething, such as chewing more or being irritable, vomiting is not a normal symptom associated with this phase. It's crucial to monitor your puppy's behavior closely and consult with a veterinarian to ensure there isn't an underlying health issue.
If this is an emergency, please seek immediate veterinary care.
