My dog is vomiting blood, not eating, and smells bad. What's wrong?

Updated on September 23, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Poodle | Male | neutered | 0 lbs

Hi my dog has been puking every 6-12 hours. It is a dark brown mucus with yellow spots and blood clots! He isn't eating or drinking anything in the last day. What is going wrong? He also smells bad even after bathing him

Harley need to be seen by a vet ASAP if he is vomitting up blood. This can be from toxin ingestion, ulceration, cancer or other GI disease. But there is the chance that he could have a fatal event if there is an ulcer or rumor that could rupture.
