Baby girl Princess, of 12 years, is not feeling well. Last night she pooped just fine, but this morning I saw where she threw up 3 times. One of the piles looked like it had small amounts of blood in it. We can't determine what she would eat that is red. What looked to be blood was in spots, not pooled or streaked. All the piles look very similar. They're not actually piles, but a circle of clearish yellow matter. Not the deeper yellow thick stomach bile.

She holds her head down and has her ears laid sort of down and back. Normally her head is high and ears erect. It's obvious she is not feeling well. Earlier this evening she tried to eat grass.... which I think is hard for her because she doesn't have any teeth.(had to be removed via surgery) It mostly looks like she tries to pull the grass, but can't get any. I understand dogs do this to settle their stomach and sometimes throw it up.

We love her very dearly and it kills me to see her under the weather like this. I feel helpless.

If she gets worse, I will take her to the emergency. For now I don't think it's necessary. However, we're keeping a close eye on her and will make the call in a moments notice if the need arises.

Do any of you have suggestions on what "could" be wrong? Just curious.

Anyway...

Can you please give me some ideas on what she could take to soothe her stomach? I'm thinking her mood is due to an upset stomach.

Thank you very much for your help in this delicate matter.
