I am so sorry to hear that Bravo isn’t feeling well. Bright red blood in the vomit often means that the esophagus is bleeding usually secondary to forceful vomiting and irritation. However, I would encourage you to have a follow up appointment with your veterinarian. If the liver isn’t working well then clotting function can be disrupted and bleeding can be concerning. Anti nausea medication may be helpful and further testing may be recommended. Best of luck and I hope he improves soon. Thank you for using Pet Coach.
