My dog is vomiting, foaming, and has bloody mucus. Should I worry?

Question

Miniature dachshund has been sick several times over last hour. He’s now foaming at mouth and wretching as nothing more to bring up. He’s started bringing up bloody looking mucus. Is this normal for a dog with acute upset stomach or should we be more concerned? Pet's info: Dog | Dachshund miniature | Male | unneutered | 10 lbs

It sounds as Hugo is suffering from a gastrointestinal condition, possibly an infection. it could also be due to ingestion of a foreign body material. i would recommend taking him to the vet the first chance you get, he will need to be checked first, if the vet thinks it's a simple gastrointestinal infection he will need an anti vomiting injection, antibiotics and a special food for a few days in order to get better.
