Thank you for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach with your question about Lilly. The rash isn't an emergency, but the fact that she has been throwing up for three days and is now throwing up blood is an emergency. You need to take her into a vet immediately, she sounds quite sick. Please take her into an ER vet clinic; if there isn't one in your area, there will be a vet on call for emergencies. The information to reach that vet is found on a clinic's answering machine or website.
