Question
I was wondering if you can norrow down the list of symptoms for my 8 yr old cockapoo. She is vomiting at least 4 times a day and having bloody stool its not solid as well we've taken her to the vet and the have said she is fine and ruled out parvo and other virus is there something esle we should be looking for. thank you for your time.

Answer
Vomiting can be caused by kidney problems, so if they haven't done a full blood work up I would definitely suggest asking them to do so.  If she is having bad diarrhea then sometimes they do get some blood in their stool because the lining of the colon is so inflamed and irritated.  Pancreatitis can cause vomiting, and if that's it they should be able to tell something from her blood work as well.  At the very least they may want to give her some fluids to help perk her up a bit and rehydrate her as I'm sure she's a little dehydrated if she's vomiting.  I don't know what all your vet has done diagnostically, but I would definitely start with bloodwork and a fecal as well.  I hope she gets better.
