Hello!  Hopefully you have been seen by now but the correct answer for a dog that is vomiting and off food, especially a small dog, is to speak to the emergency vets.  They can at least triage the situation (make a formal clinical judgement on how quickly the case needs to be seen).  My worry is that your little one may be dehydrated - it happens easily in small pup - and may need a drip.  Best of luck and please let us know how you get on.
