My dog is vomiting blood and has severe diarrhea. Is it chicken?

Question

Hello so lately I’ve noticed that my dog has been throwing up a lot and has really bad diahria. This is the second time this has happened. First I believe it happened because of his food a lady at petco told me that some dogs may be allergic to chicken so I stopped giving it to him then my dad accidentally bought it again and we gave it to him for a few days and he was puking a lot and his poop was really watery. His puke has been red. I honestly want to say bloody bevause it’s so hard to clean. Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Small (up to 22lb) | Male | unneutered

Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Poor Kobe! With severe vomiting and diarrhea blood can develop. In the vomit that is due to ulceration of the stomach lining and in the stool it is secondary to inflammation in the colon. I would not give Kobe food for 24 hours. With hold water for 6 hours. If he stops vomiting during the 6 hours you can start small sips of water. If he continues to vomit then he should go to an Emergency hospital today. If all goes well with the water then at 24 hours start a bland diet of rice with boiled hamburger. Feed 1 cup per 20 lbs per day as small frequent meals. Feed the bland diet until 2 normal stools then transition him to the non chicken diet. If he won't eat, continues to vomit and/or is lethargic he should be seen by a Vet. I hope this helps and I wish Kobe the best!
