My newly adopted husky threw up blood. Is it stress from moving?

Poor Medusa! Just like humans, there are many many causes of vomiting and some of the causes can be very serious. The blood in the stool is concerning for a more serious cause of illness. I recommend to have Medusa examined today by the veterinarian. Here is a link about vomiting which may have helpful information: https://www.petcoach.co/article/vomiting-in-dogs/ https://www.petcoach.co/article/diarrhea-vomiting-in-dogs-when-to-call-your-veterinarian/ I hope your pup feels better quickly!

Hi there and thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach to address your concern. Unfortunately this is something a veterinarian should take a look at. The bleeding could be a result of a bleeding disorder if Mojo's platelets or clotting factors are decreased. Unfortunately it is impossible for me to say what the cause is without testing his blood and examining him. I would recommend withholding food for at least 8 hours and then initiating a bland diet as outlined below. For the bloody nose, I would recommend taking a wash cloth and applying pressure to the affected nostril to help stop the bleeding. I would then research a vet that you can drive to to have his blood tested to see if there are any abnormalities that would lead up to the bloody vomit and nose. I hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns and I would be more than happy to help you further. GENERAL INFORMATION A bland diet is a diet that is soft and highly digestible. It is low in fiber, fat and protein and is high in carbohydrates. Bland diets are generally composed of a single carbohydrate source and a single lean protein source. The most common bland diet is boiled rice and boiled lean chicken breast, without skin and bones. Since bland diets are low in fiber, stool production slows and defecation is less frequent. Bland diets are fed to rest the gastric system and to help promote normal stool formation. Animals that are physically sick should not be fed bland diets as a method of treatment. PRIOR TO FEEDING A BLAND DIET Pets should be fasted for 12 to 24 hours. Young animals should not be fasted for more than 12 hours. Fasting will allow the intestinal system to relax and minimize acid secretions that may irritate and inflame the intestinal lining. During the fast small amounts of water or ice chips may be provided. Never fast a sick animal, it may cause disease progression and death. BASIC BOILED RICE AND CHICKEN BLAND DIET RECIPE CARBOHYDRATE SOURCE: Boiled white rice LEAN PROTEIN SOURCE: Chicken breast, no skin and bones BOILED RICE: 1 part white rice with 3 parts water boiled for 20 – 25 minutes or until the rice is easily crushed. BOILED CHICKEN: De-fat chicken breast and boil in water for 10 – 15 minutes or until the chicken meat is easily pulled apart and cooked all way through. MIXING INSTRUCTIONS: Finely chop the lean protein and mix 2 cups carbohydrate source and ½ cup lean protein source. STORAGE INSTRUCTIONS: Bland diets can be premade and stored in the refrigerator for a maximum of 48 hours. The bland diet can be cooked in a batch and frozen in feeding sized portions to minimize preparation time. Thaw and warm the frozen diet prior to feeding. PERMITTED LEAN PROTEIN SUBSTITUTIONS Pork loin, egg whites, low fat cottage cheese. 7% low fat hamburger, plain low fat yogurt. PERMITTED CARBOHYDRATE SUBSTITUTIONS Boiled potatoes, boiled spaghetti, Minute rice. PERMITTED COMMERCIAL BLAND DIETS Science Prescription Diet I/D, Eukanuba Veterinary Diet Low Residue, Royal Canin Veterinary Diet Intestinal HE. FEEDING INSTRUCTIONS Estimate 25% of your animal’s diet and feed that amount of the bland diet every 6 – 8 hours. Smaller animals will require less and larger animals will require more adhering to the same carbohydrate to lean protein source ratio. The bland diet should be fed for 4 -5 days with no treats or other food sources until stools are firm. TRANSITION BACK TO A NORMAL DIET Never transition back to a regular diet rapidly. Transition back to the regular diet over a 1 week period. Start by adding 25% of the regular diet to 75% of the bland diet and feed that combination for 2 days. If stools continue to be firm then continue substituting the regular diet in 25% increments and feeding the combination in 2 day time intervals until the diet is 100% regular diet. Minimize treats for 1 week after moving the diet back to 100% regular diet.

Poor Kato! If he has blood in his urine, this is definitely abnormal and indicates that he has a medical problem causing the urinary accidents. This could be caused by a bladder or kidney infection, bladder stones, or a prostate problem of some kind. The weight loss could also be related, especially if he has a problem with his kidneys or if he hasn't been eating as much lately due to discomfort in his bladder. I would definitely recommend having him seen by a vet as soon as you are able to - he/she can do a urinalysis as well as x-rays or ultrasound of his bladder and prostate if needed to help diagnose the problem and get him started on appropriate treatment.

Poor Snowflake! Vomiting bright red blood is always a concern, so I would recommend taking her to the vet right away for an exam - she may have eaten something toxic, or could have a stomach ulcer, a foreign body that has caused some damage her to her stomach, or even a systemic bleeding disorder of some kind. If she has been vomiting multiple times in the last 24 hours, this can also sometimes cause blood in the vomiting due to irritation of the stomach and esophagus. Your vet can do blood work and x-rays if needed to help determine what is causing the bloody vomit, and get Snowflake started on appropriate treatment for the problem right away.

I recommend taking Zeus back to the veterinarian and have chest x-rays performed to rule out anything going with his lungs. If you feel it is more vomit then coughing then I would recommend treating for an GI ulcer. Zeus may need to go to a specialist if this doesn't resolve.

It maybe unrelated since it has been so long. This may be an infection or from ingestion if something else. If you juice bloodybdiarrhea, vomiting and lethargy then I would get her seen by a vet for some testing. If it was the one time and she is otherwise normal, I would monitor her for any further changes

Thank you for submitting your question regarding Kishmish. Congratulations on adopting her! The attached pictures appear to show vomit. The stress of coming to a new home and a potential diet change can cause gastrointestinal upset. She will need to see her veterinarian to ensure she is healthy and if any treatment is required. I hope this information!
