I am so sorry that Bailey is going through this. Yes, the odor you are smelling can be from the bloody vomit and bloody diarrhea. If it has been going off for about a month (and you have tried multiple treatments with a veterinarian) I would actually recommend an ultrasound to look at her stomach and intestines. The ultrasound can help determine a cause of the vomiting and diarrhea and this would help determine treatment. I hope Bailey feels better soon and thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
