Question

My 8 year old Blue Heeler has vomited 6 times today. The first two times, the vomit was dark brown and thick. The last 4 times, it has been clear, runny with dark brown granules in it. What do I need to do for him? Pet's info: Dog | Australian Shepherd | Male | neutered | 8 years and 1 month old | 65 lbs

Poor Bear! This could indicate bleeding within his G.I. tract. That could be caused by also's, toxins, some cancers as well as infections. Because bleeding in the G.I. tract can cause severe anemia and even death I recommend Bear be examined by his veterinarian or emergency veterinarian tonight. Do not offer him any food or water or any human medications until he is examined by his veterinarian. You should monitor his gums for paleness as well as his abdomen for any pain or distention.
