My dog is lethargic, vomiting bile, drooling, and has bloody poop.

Updated on September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Labrador Retriever | Female | unspayed | 1 year and 3 months old | 45 lbs

Tarot has been acting lazier than usual for the past 3 days. She ate and drank water the first and second normally; but didn’t poop. Today, on the third day, she pooped when she woke up but it came out half firm, half runny and there was a little blood on it. I thought it was a step forward, but just a couple of minutes ago, she started excessively drooling and threw up what seemed like bile; it was yellow and foamy. I figured she was in heat, but I’m starting to get worried. Please advice?

Thank you for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach with your question about Tarot. No, it does not sound like she is in heat, it sounds like she could have hemorrhagic gastroenteritis, parvo if she isn't fully vaccinated, a severe stomach illness, may have eaten something rotten or toxic, or could have a foreign body. Whenever a dog has vomiting as well as bloody poop, it's time to see a vet. I would take her into a vet today. I hope this helps!
