I would have Bentley seen by a vet immediately. It's quite serious that she threw up blood, and that could be caused by eating something toxic, a foreign body, trauma to the GI tract, or GI ulcers among other causes. I see you live in Dickinson, Tesxa. There is the Animal Emerency Clinic Southeast-Calder Rd that is located just over five miles from your town. I would take Bentley into there immediately, their phone number is 800-356-3692. I hope she is ok!
