    Bloody vomit

    Just fed my dog his biscuits for dinner and I hear a coughing/choking/gagging sorta sound so I come outside to make sure he's alright and he'd vomited up some of his biscuits. That's wasn't alarming but there was some blood around the bowl and on the ground where he'd vomited, reckon its anything to worry about? He's seems happy as Larry and its only a small bit of blood. Never happened before as far as I know.
    Yeah nah bro

    Phillip, was the blood bright or dark (goes to whether it is freshly bled or been in the stomach longer)? How old is the dog? (goes to he may have just lost an eye tooth for example). Next possibility is that in wolfing down the biscuits he could have cut/scratched his throat. There are a great deal of unknowns about your post. If he is happy then don't panic and monitor him over the next 24 hours

    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!

    It's worthwhile taking him to the vet. Damage to the esophagus can result is esophageal strictures that can cause problems long term.

    It was fresh, bright red. Again, it can't be more than a few mls, not enough to pool in his bowl or anything. He's a Golden Retriever aged 10. Mum said she gave him some chicken bones last night, maybe he cut himself on those, it healed, then he split the cut back open when he was eating really quickly or something - that wouldn't connect it to the vomit but then again it could just be a coincidence that he vomited. Yeah I'll keep an eye on him - vet's closed by now anyway.
    Yeah nah bro

    Just having a look at his mouth now, the staining from the blood on his fur is only on the one side so I'm thinking the blood must be from a cut on that side - I would have thought that if it was from somewhere other than the mouth, it wouldn't come out of only one side.
    Yeah nah bro

    Not necessarily

    You wouldn't expect vomiting to accompany a simple cut in the mouth.

    I would definitely have it checked out.

    My old Springer scrounged a cooked shoulder blade out of the rubbish , next morning he was not happy , couldnt find a place to lie still then he vomited foamy stuff with bright blood in it , I took him to the vet, $118 later he was feeling better but wouldnt eat for 3 days , he lost 3kg and it cost me the same as feeding 2 dogs for 4 months .
    Get as close as you can then six feet closer

    Cheers for the advice guys. I think what I'll do is I'll feed him a bit earlier today (before the vet closes), see how he goes and if it happens again we'll take him to the vet.
    Yeah nah bro

    How'd it go... next time, go to the vet, probably nothing, worth playing it safe if he's a valued dog.

    Didn't end out going to the vet. He hasn't showed any signs of illness since it happened. He's more of a valued pet than a valued dog, if you get what I'm saying. We (the family) love him to bits but the next dog we get, I'll train it to scent deer.
    Yeah nah bro
