My pit bull is vomiting blood. Should I use a bland diet or see a vet?

Pet's info: Dog | American Pit Bull Terrier | Female | spayed | 3 years old | 70 lbs

I have a pit bull. She's about 2 yrs old. She's always had a sensitive stomach. She's been vomiting since yesterday. She will eat, but throws up her food. Other than the vomiting she's acting quite normal. But 3 times since this all started she's had mucousy vomit and just now it was streaked with blood. Not a lot, but I could see it in there. Should I put her on the usual bland diet I would the other times she'd have vomiting spells or could this be something serious?

Hi. I would definitely do a bland diet, small, frequent meals. And because she isn't keeping food down and she young, I always worry about something stuck in the stomach or intestines. So x-rays would be indicated if it continues. Hope he feels better
