Poorly staff :(

Hi all,
I'm new here but need some advice....
I have been away for a few days & my dog was left with my mother.
Rascal (my dog) is 2 & a half & a healthy sized staff however, whilst away I have been told Rascal was ill, he has been sick for the past 3 days (my mom is unable to tale him to the vets as she is disabled) but he will still sit & cry for his food and will still drink his water, also he is still playful etc.
The worst part is there looked to be tints of blood / blood staining in his vomit. He will be going to the vets tomorrow hopefully!! As I'm sure this serious. He has a ear infection but he has ear drops for this - not sure if this could be related?
To be honest I'm looking for advice or maybe something that has happened similar with your dog?

Thanks x

Hi & welcome.

You know it could be seperation anxiety? If he's being sick he could be 'scouring' his stomach & that could cause a small amount of blood. Normally I'd say as long as he's still ok in himself & he's drinking properly then it isn't too much to worry about.

However, you're doing the right thing taking him to the vets just in case. It'll put your mind at ease!

I agree it could be anxiety. Could he also have eaten anything at mums?

I'd be inclined to agree with Caryll and Hayley, in that it could be down to separation anxiety. If he was vomiting for 3 days he could have torn a little blood vessel in his throat which would explain the bloody vomit. But if your mum gave him a bone (for example) or anything else scratchy, that might cause it too.

Is he drinking and eating normally now he's back with you, and stopped vomiting?

I agree with above^^^^ it could be seperation issues, I hope rascal feels better soon, keep us updated please

I would be going to the vet personally for peace of mind. But it very well correct itself now you are home

Poor lad - unfortunately I don't have experience here but make sure he is hydrated and maybe give food little and often perhaps to help calm his tummy until you see the vet... Hope he is a little better ><
