My older dog threw up pink vomit. Is it blood? What should I do?

Question

Hello, my dog threw up this morning or overnight in his bed but it was pink. When I left the room and came back he'd licked it clean. I have a feeling that it was blood. He's an older dachshund and hasn't had this problem before. We do leave the heat on overnight so I figured maybe a dry throat? Not sure but thank you for your help in advance.

I’m sorry to hear of this disturbing finding with Osuka this morning! If he is acting normally otherwise and has not had this type of issue previously then I would recommend monitoring him for now. If this behavior continues, if he has bleeding from other areas, if he goes off his food or is generally not acting right then I would recommend having him evaluated by your regular veterinarian.
