Michelle, I hope you have taken your baby to the vet by now. It is possible that he was able to tear off a piece of wood or other object that got stuck half way down. Does he ever have Greenies? They can cause these symptoms.
The bright red blood in the vomitus is from the esophagus or stomach for sure--well, maybe the farthest back part of the throat. The tarry stool is indicative of bleeding in the G-I tract anywhere from the stomach to the middle of the large intestine. Further down than that the blood would be bright red again. These babies can bleed out right before your eyes so never take a chance if you see these symptoms again.
My vet says no tylenol or motrin but aspirin can be used but only under the vet's close supervision.
Please keep us in the loop about his condition and what your doc says... |
