What happens if a dog overeats?
Overeating usually causes a bloated belly, abdominal pain, restlessness, vomiting, and hiccups. The dog may keep changing posture to relieve the bloating, and the vomit is mostly undigested food. Give a little pet probiotic to aid digestion, then withhold food for half a day and see a vet if vomiting persists.
My dog’s stool was normal at first, but last night it had water mixed into the poop.
Watery stool is diarrhea, possibly from parasites, indigestion, or gastroenteritis, not necessarily parvovirus. Fast half a day with probiotics and light diet; if no improvement, use medication or vet testing.
My dog has diarrhea with blood but is still very active; it ate a little sunflower seed shell and vomited it out.
Bloody diarrhea can be gut scraping by a foreign body, parasites, hemorrhagic enteritis, or virus. If active and seed shells were eaten, it may be mild; fast and give probiotics, then meds if no improvement, or see a vet for foul-smelling stool with other signs.

Last Night I Gave Her a Sausage, Some Pork, and Two Chew Sticks; She Vomited Several Puddles and Is Now Hiding Under the Bed and Won’t Come Out

Tips for First-Time Poodle (Teddy) Owners
The Poodle—known as the 'Teddy' in its popular clip—is lively, smart, and devoted, making it a great family pet, but new owners should know the basics. Start deworming at two months and vaccinate a week later; feed balanced, nutritious food since Teddies are picky with sensitive stomachs; and keep the environment clean with basic training, daily outings, and regular health checks.

A Samoyed eating chili screams, runs, and drinks wildly, and may get diarrhea or gastroenteritis. Soothe with water and probiotics, and see a vet for severe cases.
Why is the dog vomiting and having diarrhea?
It may be from bad food or a gastrointestinal bacterial or viral infection. Stop feeding temporarily, then give probiotics after vomiting eases and resume a bland diet. For acute gastroenteritis, get a virus test and use anti-inflammatory and anti-emetic drugs.
