It is most likely NOT the food. Puppies do eat and drink things they shouldn't. Sometimes it makes them sick. The puppy needs to go to the Vet immediately. Young dogs don't have enough fat to survive and can dehydrate very fast.

There is also the possibility that it could be more serious, like Parvo virus, which is potentially fatal even with treatment by a Vet.

A hard stomach and vomiting and/or diarrhea in a young puppy can indicate that it has a belly full of roundworms or other parasites. Has this puppy been to a vet yet for a stool check and vaccinations???
It can also indicate the puppy is getting fed way too much food at a time.
I would suggest a vet visit and a stool exam FIRST to rule out any illness or parasites or worms, you can also discuss her diet and appropriate amounts to be feeding with the veterinarian.
