So vera has just gotten her puppies back. They are 5 weeks now and they have been apart since 2 weeks due to vera trying to die. She had been around them a little bit still and she would play with them ect. But now she will eat whatever she can get a hold of and throw her food up when shes around the puppies. I fed her an hr or more before letting her play with the puppies and she still threw up food. Is this normal? The puppies are not starving. They always have hard kibble to snack on and they get some softend food every 4-6hrs.

This is not 'throwing up', it is regurgitation...and it is how many canines feed their young.

Imagine a wolf with cubs .... the cubs are way too young to go hunting , so how do they get meat? Adults hunt, and gorge, and carry it back to the pups in their stomachs .... digestion is begun, the food is warm, and is a perfect start for the babies :D

A lot of birds also regurgitate food- penguins for one , and parrots....
