My dog threw up blood after I gave him peroxide. Is this serious?

Question

I believe my dog swalled a viodin pill this morning so I induced vomitting with 2.5 tbs of peroxide.He threw everything up within 15 minutes, including breakfast.He also pooped in the house right away after throwing up, which he never does.He's seemed fine all day.Right before dinner he threw up yellow bile with specs of blood then threw up a pile of mostly blood with some bile.He then pooped, peed, and ate like normal.I don't have a local vet because I'm only in this area temporarily.Advice? Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Medium (23 - 60lb) | Male | 30 lbs

Even though you are only in the area temporarily, Ruger should see a vet immediately. It's quite serious that he threw up a pile of blood, and that can be caused by giving him the peroxide. It's not recommended to induce dogs to vomit with peroxide because it causes gastritis and esophagitis, which can lead to vomiting blood. I would find an ER vet in the area, or call around local clinics to find a vet on call to see him now.
