Why is my 8-month puppy vomiting, in pain, and has strange stool?

Question

Yesterday my 8 month old puppy was throwing up continuously. The day before he threw up about 3 times in the morning. When you squeeze his belly just below his rib cage he wines. I'm assuming that is where his pain is. Attached are pics of two of his stools. Any ideas of what his condition should be?

Hello, sorry to hear about Groovy Q. I would be concerned that he may have something in his stomach since he is vomiting continuously and has pain right under his rib cage. The mucus of the stool could be associated with inflammation of the colon, however, other causes of this especially parasitic can still be considered. I would recommend having him evaluated today by a veterinarian in case he does have something stuck in his stomach which may require surgery of scoping. Hope this helps and best of luck.
