I have just purchased a pit bull and he has been pooping red & vomiting. At first I’m thinking because of the change. He has not really eaten.

It sounds as Blaze is suffering from a gastrointestinal condition, possibly an infection. it could also be due to ingestion of a foreign body material. i would recommend taking him to the vet the first chance you get, he will need to be checked first, if the vet thinks it's a simple gastrointestinal infection he will need an anti vomiting injection, antibiotics and a special food for a few days in order to get better.
