My dog is pooping blood and vomiting. Is it Tylenol or antifreeze?

My friends dog looks awful and is either pooping straight blood or puking it, they give him baby Tylenol and I tell them not to but nobody listens to me, I don't know if he got a hold of their pills or if they poisoned him, she said it was antifreeze but he'd be dead if it were.

These tablets (or eventually the antifreeze liquid) can cause extreme toxicity in dogs. An IMMEDIATE check up and treatment are necessary, this intoxication could be life threatening. Bring the tablets with you but have Teddy checked as soon as possible.
