Dog leaking blood from rear and vomiting. Is this an emergency?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Dutch Shepherd | Female | spayed | 90 lbs

My dog is a very good dog and never has accidents in house. Around 11:45 I woke up to my foot in a puddle of blood that had leaked out of her anus. I washed her off and she has been laying down. She tried to throw up 2-3 times and I’m wondering if this is dangerous and if I should seek a vet now or if it is a low risk vet visit. I attached a pic of one of the piles of blood she leaked

She should be seen tonight. This could be a serious gastroenteritis that needs to be addressed promptly. She may need to be hospitalized for treatment. https://www.petcoach.co/dog/condition/hemorrhagic-gastroenteritis/
