Well my mom goes to bed and then like 5mins later she comes running down stairs freaking the hell out. She can't get any words straight besides upstairs. SO I run up there and our 10 year old pug is in the bathroom, just chilling, covered in blood, with a large pile of food/blood spread all over the tiles. We get to the emergency room (yes, there is a 24hr emergency room for pets in Portsmouth //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif) in probably 1/4 of the time it takes usually. Doctor said he probably has an ulsar from all the steroids/medicine he is on which caused the bleeding, and then accumulated enough to make him throw it up.

I know most of yall don't care, but just like ice (I believe it was you), the dog is a big part of our lives, and it was pretty heart breaking to see him passing out in a pool of his own blood. Never really thought I would cry for him as a grown man:blush:

He should be, but the hard part is, pugs generally live no longer than 11, and he just had his 10th birthday 7 days ago. He's blind, deaf and has arthritus. That's why he is on so many meds. It's hard, we just hope he can survive this. He seems happy most of the time so we don't think he is suffering. At least we hope not. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

Thats why I'm a firm believer of keeping your pets off long term medication

It's not long term, just so many at one time and his little stomch couldn't handle it. He actually has not been taking any for the past three days. The blood was dark indicating an old bleed, we thnk the baby aspirin (perscribed by the doctor) was the final straw.
