Causes Of Dog Vomiting
Canine Vomiting - Common causes you should know
Dogs sometimes vomit and there is nothing wrong with that if these episodes don't occur very often. But the frequent episodes can be a real sign that the dog has a serious problem. There are a lot of causes for dog vomiting and here are the most common ones.
Gastrointestinal
If the gastrointestinal tract has a problem, then the dog could get serious episodes of vomiting. The bladder can also get damaged because of the trauma. The dog could also be vomiting because of an obstruction. If the dog swallows a gold ball, a string or a toy, he can get an obstruction. This is why these small items must be kept away from the dog.
Kidney
If the dog is experiencing kidney failure, he could be vomiting a lot. The kidneys are responsible for eliminating the waste products. If they can not do their job, then the dog's body will accumulate a lot of waste and cause the dog to vomit. Kidney failure could result in severe dehydration and that is really bad. A medical examination at the vet is recommended.
Pancreas
Pancreatitis is another cause for canine vomiting. The inflamed pancreas can cause vomiting and also abdominal pain. The pancreas can also get different tumors and vomiting is one of the symptoms of pancreatic tumors. Only through different sets of analysis the vet can determine if it's pancreatitis.
Eating
Dogs are known to be very greedy. They sometimes eat till they fall on their back, especially when they are little. Dogs also like to try out new things and they sometimes eat garbage or many other things. Sometimes they can even ingest damaged food or poisoned things. Usually, if eating is the problem, after a few episodes of vomiting the dog will fell much better.

Causes of dog vomiting blood w/ bloody stool?
First, this dog is already at the vet hospital, and will remain there until Monday (at least.)
Second, this is my friend's dog. Vet medicine isn't my area, and I'd like to do some research to be sure the vet is ordering all necessary tests, etc. Not much else I can do :(
Hana is a 4 year old pit/lab/dalmation mix who has been spayed. She takes medicine for a leaky bladder, but that is it. She has been vomiting nothing but blood and having very bloody diarrhea since Thursday. After Thursday, she was pooping only bloody mucus, no fecal matter. The x-rays and blood work are all fine. She has shown just the tiniest amount of improvement since being heavily medicated with antibiotics and painkillers. Ultrasound tomorrow.
In my limited research, this sounds like a cancer. The normal x-rays and blood work seem to me to mean there is no blockage or infection. Hana has a canine sister who is just fine, so I suspect this is not something contagious. Up until now, Hana has been a perfectly happy, healthy little girl. What could be the cause?
