Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Female | spayed | 12 years and 5 months old | 58 lbs
My dog vomitted a dark substance with her veal and rice meal. This is the second time today, seems her food is not being digested. She has also had diahhrea for 2 weeks now. She had nothing but water and the food. She is an elderly pit-mix who takes carprofren for arthritis and trazadone for separation anxiety. Thanks for any insight.

I'm concerned about the dark color of Kia's vomit, it could be blood. Carprofen can cause GI bleeding as a side effect, and if there is blood in her vomit, that could be the cause. It's also very concerning she has had diarrhea for two weeks. She needs to see a vet immediately, please take her into one immediately.
