Puppies should be allowed to nurse with their mothers atleast until they are 6-8 weeks old. After 8 weeks they would be healthy enough to find themselves a new home.

Is 11 weeks old too late to change a puppies home?

No, most likely, you got your puppy around 7 or 8 wks. If you got your puppy earlier than that, you really should not have, because it is too early to be taken away from it's mother. But if your puppy is only 11 wks, it probably has not been with you that long, or really devolped a special bond, so it should transistion into a new home smoothley. Good luck finding your puppy a new home!

A five week old puppy that is throwing up clear liquid every five minutes or so should be seen by a vet. There is not much that you can do for the puppy at home. If this puppy is away from its mother, it is too young. Puppies can become dehydrated very quickly, it is important to get the pup medical care right away.
