My girl is 12 weeks old and was just at the vet for shots where she checked out great. She is the runt of the litter but extremely aggressive but every time she ats she throws up, then eats it again (gross) and she isn't really gaining weight. I know some food is going through her because she is still having bowel movements.
Do I have a problem here or will she grow out of it??

Has she always been doing this, or is it only recently?
The problem with a quick Vet checkup is that it doesn't tell one what's going on inside the dog. There could be several problems causing this, from worm infestation to a liver shunt to kidney problems to a foreign object having been ingested. It's just too broad to diagnose without her having bloodwork done. Ask your Vet to do a blood test. If she's not gaining weight but she's still passing stools, I would doubt the food is being utilized - it's just passing through. Try worming her with panacur and praziquantel & if she doesn't pick up, a Vet check for that blood test should be in order. That's the only way you'll know what's going on inside her.
ETA: What are you feeding her? Would it be possible to put her on a bland diet of chicken and rice with a puppy vitamin for a few days just to see if the food wasn't agreeing with her?
