Vomiting bile with blood in dogs can indeed be concerning, especially if it occurs multiple times. This situation might be due to irritation in the stomach or esophagus, ingestion of a foreign object, or even an ulcer. It's reassuring that your dog remains playful and is drinking water, but the presence of blood is something that should not be overlooked.

To help manage this situation, you might consider offering your dog a bland diet, such as boiled chicken and rice, in small portions to see if they can keep it down. It's also crucial to ensure your dog stays hydrated by providing small amounts of water frequently.

Keep a close watch on your dog for any changes in behavior, such as lethargy or additional vomiting. If the vomiting continues or you observe more blood, it is essential to consult a veterinarian. They can conduct tests to identify the underlying cause and recommend the appropriate treatment.

If you have any further questions or need additional guidance, please feel free to reach out. Thank you.
