My dog is vomiting blood and won't eat. Is it serious? Where's affordable vet care?

Question

I woke up to 7-8 piles of blood that my dog had puked up. He is drinking peeing and pooping fine but wont eat and keeps throwing up blood. Should i be concerned or give it a couple days to go away first? And would you have any advice on low cost vets or vets that have payment plans in missouri? Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Small (up to 22lb) | Male | neutered | 7 years and 9 months old | 15 lbs

It's extremely serious that Odie is vomiting blood and he needs veterinary attention now. You should be concerned, as this isn't normal at all and can have very serious causes such as eating something toxic such as rat poison, a foreign body, GI ulcers, or GI tumors among other causes. I will give you some resources that may help you afford a vet in Missouri. You can see if your vet accepts payment plans, if there is a low cost clinic in your area, or you can apply for Care Credit online. There is also an organization called Red Rover that give grants for treatment of sick animals, and you can see if you qualify for one of their grants. Best Friends also has a list of resources that offer financial assistance on their website. http://www.humanesociety.org/animals/resources/tips/trouble_affording_pet.html?credit=web_id91754962 https://www.redrover.org https://www.carecredit.com http://bestfriends.org/resources/financial-aid-pets http://lessonsfromaparalyzeddog.com/when-pet-owners-cant-afford-veterinary-bills/ God's Creatures Ministry helps pay for veterinarian bills for those who need help.  The Onyx & Breezy Foundation has many programs including helping people with medical bills. They are a good resource for information.  Brown Dog Foundation provides funding to families with a sick pet that would likely respond to treatment, but due to circumstances, there is not enough money immediately available to pay. IMOM is dedicated to insure that no companion animal has to be euthanized simply because their caretaker is financially challenged. Please take Odie into a vet now.
