My dog threw up blood, isn't eating, has red eyes. What do I do?

Question

Our dog threw up blood when we we're away on vacation and he hasn't been eating. His eyes are red and were worried but we don't have much money to pay for him to get checked. Is it serious or can we do anything to help him. Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Large (61lb +) | Male | 75 lbs

As a general approach, in case the cause is dietary related, I would suggest to withhold food for the next 8-12 hours and then start feeding with a bland diet based on boiled chicken and rice in small portion every 6 hours for the following 48hours. Then gradually reintroduce the normal diet over 5 days. I would definitively recommend a veterinary check up if the signs persist or you notice diarrhoea, more vomiting, lethargy or inappetence. Please do not hesitate to contact us again on the forum or by requesting a consultation if you have any more questions or to discuss it any further.
