Thank you for submitting your question regarding Mikaela. Her vomit appears blood tinged. This can occur secondary to irritation of the stomach lining from the frequent vomiting or be the result of an ulcer. Either scenario is potentially serious and she will need to see a veterinarian as soon as possible. Continue to offer plain water and the tuna water to try to prevent her from becoming dehydrated. If she drinks some, you can try a small amount of food. I hope this information helps!
