My 14-year-old dog is vomiting blood after new food, what to do?

Question

I have a 14 yr old dog that has been outside today . And acted normal and all day Over the last couple hours he has vomiting that has what looks like small hints of blood . We recently changed his food and he vomited a good amount of it up earlier. He has vomited about 4 or 5 times in the last 4 hours. He is sleeping now and seems to be tired but responds to my wife and I. I can't afford a vet trip as I am unemployed right now . I'm a little worried duebti his age. Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Small (up to 22lb) | Male | neutered | 14 lbs

At his age, sudden violent vomiting could be a sign of something serious, but maybe it's just something bad he ingested. withhold food for 12 hours then offer him boiled boneless chicken and rice every 6 hours in small portions. if he is eating and not vomiting, continue with this diet for 2 days. After 2 days, you can put him back gradually on his normal food. If he continues vomiting or is not eating, take him to the vet to get treatment.
