  I’m so sorry to hear about Max! The best case scenario here is that Max has gastroenteritis (inflammation of the stomach and intestines). This is common after eating something naughty. Usually there is only a couple episodes of vomiting and the pet is eating within 24 hours. Often the diarrhea will last for a few days.
  
  HOWEVER,
  
  These are also signs that can occur if a something is stuck (or partially stuck) in the intestines. Because it was cloth, I am even more concerned about a linear foreign body- which can cause less vomiting but more damage to the intestines.
  
  Long story short, it’s time to see a vet for a good physical exam. Even if you have to visit the emergency clinic. Depending on what he or she finds, x-rays may be recommended. Many times, Fluids given under the skin or through an IV can be very helpful, even if the underlying problem is unclear.
  
  I hope this helps and best of luck to you and Max!

  Common causes of bloody vomiting or diarrhea in a puppy include dietary intolerance, dietary indiscretion, intestinal parasites, GI blockage, toxic exposure, gastroenteritis, bacterial or viral (like parvo or distemper) infection, among others. The x-rays you provided are not diagnostic for any specific disease, but there are a couple large pockets of gas that could indicated GI blockage or a decrease in movement of the intestines, called ileus, Other diagnostics that can be performed are CBC, chemistry, parvo test, intestinal parasite screen, or coagulation profile. If you have additional diagnostic results, you can choose a one-on-one consult and we can discuss them fully and help you decide what else can be discussed with your vet.

  Hi, and thanks for your question.
  These signs could be compatible with an inflammation infection of the gastrointestinal system and surrounding organs (like pancreas and liver). A clinical examination at your local veterinarian is immediately essential to confirm these clinical suspicions and treat appropriately. Antibiotics and possibly further investigations (like abdominal imaging as ultrasound or radiographs) may be needed.
