I had to run last night with my Yorkie mix to the emergency vet after she vomited a large amount of blood. She had seemed fine all day and then vomited once, out of the blue, and then about an hour later vomited a large amount of blood. I rushed her to the vet and $250 later, they found nothing wrong. She seems fine today and had no futher episodes of vomiting, no diarrhea. Part of me could kick myself for jumping the gun...thats alot of money that I dont have to blow, but, on the other hand, as a nurse myself, I know bright red blood in vomit cant be good. If it had been a person I would have taken them to the er, for sure.
So does anyone know what could have caused it and am I wrong that its not always a serious sign of something wrong? As I said it is almost 24 hrs later and she is fine now. In fact, had no more problems after the last vomit.
