Hi. It sounds like he just has an upset stomach, probably from eating something he shouldn't or in reaction to a change of diet or just due to the kind of diet you are giving him, if that's appropriate. I am replying assuming your puppy has had all its puppy shots at the vets, otherwise Parvovirus would be a major concern. Yellowish liquid vomit is indicative of an accumulation of acids and bile in the stomach. This can occur due to an empty stomach, so I am suspecting this occurs before rather than after he has eaten anything.

Have you changed what you are feeding him recently? If so, go back to feeding him what he was having before this started. I am also wondering a) whether you are feeding him enough - puppies need small amounts of nutritional food, but more regularly than older dogs; and b) whether you or your vet has wormed your dog - if your dog has worms, they will be absorbing the food you give him and very little nutritional value will be getting into your puppy's bloodstream.

Hope this helps.

If despite the above comments, your puppy is still vomiting, please get him to a vet as soon as possible. Tony

Almost all dogs will eat chicken, as they find it irresistable, so if your little fella isn't eating it, I would tend to say he needs the vet to examine him properly and diagnose what's going on. Tony

Sometimes they vomit bike for a number of reasons, one being food or due to an empty stomach.  I would continue the bland diet and mix it with kibble or some canned food.  If it continues, gets worse, has diarrhea, etc he will need to see the Vet
