Puppy vomiting blood, bloody diarrhea, breathing hard. Is it an emergency?

Question

hello my name is Heather and my puppies name is Scout. She wasn't feeling well today and was vomiting and had some diarrhea. That stopped for about 4 hours and now she is having a hard time breathing and is vomiting blood and having bloody diarrhea. We live a long way from emergency vet services and don't know what to do. Can you please help our Scout? Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Female | unspayed | 8 lbs

Hello. I am sorry Scout isn't feeling well. It sounds like Scout is very very sick and even though it is a long way from an emergency clinic I recommend you going there. Vomiting blood and having bloody diarrhea can be life-threatening, and can because caused by many issues, including parvo-virus. Without care, and quickly, Scout could get very sick or even die as this can lead to sepsis (severe whole body infection) or severe dehydration. If it is impossible to get Scout to a vet tonight (try calling around to see if a clinic in your area does out of hours care), then try to get Scout to eat or drink anything and get Scout to the vet ASAP in the morning. Good luck with her.
