I agree, I'd see a vet. From another RN, tarry stools are generally indicative of an upper GI bleed, ie a bleeding gastric ulcer. Which, would also account for the bloody vomit, as coming out fresh and undigested, it will look like blood, after it goes through the GI tract and is mixed with all the digestive enzymes, tar. Unless I am mistaken, ibuprofen (Motrin) is contraindicated in dogs whereas acetaminophen (tylenol) is the one that is safe, but only per vets recommendations...Good luck.
