She has also said it could be as simple as Gastritis (since Gucci is known for this) all the way down to an Ulcer or something like that. At this point we don't think it's Pancreatitis or any Liver issue as his tummy isn't bloated and he is not lethargic or restless nor is he uncomfy or anything.
He's holding down food fine, and is drinking fine as well. It worries me, and he will go to the ER if for some reason he gets worse. However, right now I think he's o.k. His gums are good color, he's acting normal and everything. He just threw up once this A.M around 7 but not since then and hadn't thrown up for over 24 hours before that 
I still think this could be Gastritis from the food change (food intolerance) and the vet thought this could be it as well. We will see tomorrow... Thanks for all the well wishes guys ... |
if the specs are coffee ground like blood that is dried blood from large intestines of fresh blood in vomit it is small intestines. Ulcer is something to consider but usually that is from say an nsaid. I still think the amount of vomitting has caused a blood vessel to be affected in small intestines causing fresh blood in vomit and would have him checked out by vet tomorrow if acting fine now. He would be in a lot of pain if pancreatitis
make sure if they do blood do it one time and do the spec cpli and make sure they do the inhouse one for that as the lab one takes 3-4 days -- i am a firm believer in if you are doing blood draw from jugular do everything as that is stressful on the dog to get it done over and over
