The hydrogen peroxide can definitely cause a dark discoloration of mouth and esophagus; and can also lead to ulcerations in the esophagus and stomach. This would also cause there to be blood noticed in the saliva and vomit. If he's eating well, then I wouldn't be too worried about severe damage to the stomach or esophagus, but the fact that he's vomiting does indicate that there is still some irritation there. The sluggishness could be due to the Ambien, or could indicate another problem causing him to not feel well. It's best to have a vet evaluate Chulo sometime soon to ensure there is nothing serious going on. I hope that helps and Chulo feels better soon.
