Pet's info: Dog | Shih Tzu | Female | spayed | 8 lbs
My 2 year old Shih Tzu had a vomiting episode last night accompanied by loose stool. I noticed a small piece of loose stool on her puppy pad that had blood in it. She doesn't act like she is sick and she is now eating and drinking water. What could have caused this? Does she need to visit the vet?

It is possible sweetie had a case of gastric upset. This could be due to something sweetie ate or got a hold of. IF she is eating, drinking, and no longer vomiting I would not be concerned. IF she continues to vomit or have blood in her stool i recommend takin her to a vet for medications to resolve the diarrhea.

She is cute! If she is wheezing really bad then it would be best to have her examined by a vet to determine the cause. Your vet can take an xray to evaluate her heart and lungs. She may need an antibiotic, anti-inflammatory, and/or a bronchodilator to help with her breathing. Your vet can also prescribe medications to help with the vomiting and diarrhea.
