My Dog Had Runny, Bloody Stool And Vomiting, Should We Go To The Vet Or Wait A Day To See If He Gets Better?
He is a 115 lb rott and normally has a great appetite and is very active. He has not been himself since yesterday and has bloody stool and vomiting.
Answers
Your dog is suffering from hemorrhagic gastroenteritis. This is an emergency situation which needs timely veterinary care and if left untreated, it can be life threatening for your dog. Hemorrhagic gastroenteritis or HGE can have an effect on any breed and may happen at any age. Both males and females are equally affected by HGE. The root cause of this disease has not been proven yet. The treatment of HGE is aggressive supportive care which would be fluid therapy administered intravenously with potassium along with fluids and no food or water orally administered at all for up to four days. Food can be administered slowly after that.

I agree with getvet, though I'm not as sure on the diagnosis. If he goes two days in that condition, consult a vet and cease feeding him anything but water until you can deliver him safely.
