I have seen him occasionally vomit a bit of blood in the bile, but only rarely (maybe a few times a year). The vet attributed it to his stomach being irritated. When he does this, he also sometimes ends up with diarrhea and blood in that. The general rule is that if the blood is small in quantity and bright red, you don't have too much to worry about (assuming it is transient). If it is dark or has the appearance of coffee grounds, you should get to the emergency vet immediately. |
Thanks for letting me know! I was doing the night snack til she stopped eating it. And if she did eat the snack she won't eat her breakfast in the morning and then vomit later on. I feed her about 9 in the morning and 7 at night with snacks all day. This is the first time she has vomited the blood. Her poop tonight was very squishy and looked like she had eaten dirt. Very grainy. But yea it was a bright red and I don't think it was a lot. It was about as much as the bile she usually vomits up.
