Anytime a dog ingests a foreign body (in this case this pup was fed cooked beef bones) it needs to be monitored to see that it has passed. Vomiting is a sign that a bone may have caused a blockage (esp so long after the meal was fed), and with the bones being a sharp foreign body, may have preforated the intestines. If the blood stays in the intestines, the owner would see it, but there is always a chance the dog could bleed into the abdominal cavity and bleed out.

When the vet says see you next week, that always means if nothing happens before then.
