My puppy vomited blood and weeds but is still active. Should I worry?

Question

My 7 month old puppy vomited weeds with blood in it. She is still playing and eating a lot today. Should get blood vomit be a concern? Pet's info: Dog | Dachshund (Miniature Smooth Haired) | Female | unspayed | 7 months and 24 days old | 10 lbs

Hello, and thanks for your question. The safest answer would be to send Chanel to the vet - vomiting blood certainly CAN be something serious like a stomach ulcer or bleeding disorder. However, if it was just small specks of blood, it may have been mild irritation associated with vomiting up (or swallowing) the weeds. If she's happy and playful and seems normal in every other way, I might be inclined to give a dog one "freebie" vomit - but if she vomits a second time, or if you see ANY other signs of illness such as lethargy, decreased appetite, etc then have her seen immediately by a vet. Hope this helps!
