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.

Softer stool and mucus could indicate something underlying or some GI upset. You can try to add in a little boiled chicken and rice to Bailey's diet to help settle minor stomach upset. If the problem persists, bringing in a sample of her stool to your vet when he returns to check for parasites and other common issues is best. If you see any major changes such as vomiting, diarrhea, bloody or discolored stool or vomit, abdominal pain, etc, then seeking veterinary care sooner with another vet or ER doc is best.
