Poor Temmeliy! Vomiting blood is quite serious and can be causing by eating something toxic, GI ulcers, trauma to the GI tract, GI obstruction, or GI tumors among other causes. Even those it has stopped, I still recommend having her checked out by a vet immediately. I know it's Sunday in Australia, but I would see if there are any vets open today or if there is an ER vet clinic near your home. Otherwise, there should be a vet on call for emergencies. To reach that vet, the information is typically found on a clinic's answering machine or website. I hope this helps!
