What happens if a poisoned dog vomits?
Vomiting from poisoning is the body's self-defense to expel toxin; also diarrhea, blood in stool, seizures, lethargy, or odd excitement. Frequent vomiting/diarrhea cause dehydration and electrolyte loss; toxins can damage liver/kidneys. See a vet for detox (lavage, activated charcoal, fluids, antidotes).

My cat is weak, has no appetite, pus from the ears, and is vomiting blood.
Based on your description—lethargy, no appetite, pus from ears, vomiting blood—the condition is serious; see a vet promptly. Ear pus suggests infection (ear mites, otitis); vomiting blood can come from stomatitis, poisoning, gastroenteritis, distemper, pancreatitis, etc. Find the cause, then treat.
What should I do if my dog ate a sprouted raw potato?
Eating a sprouted raw potato can poison a dog, so inducing vomiting is generally advised right away. If the best window for vomiting has passed, take the dog to a veterinary hospital promptly to decide whether gastric lavage or laxatives are needed, and begin detox treatment in time. If poisoning symptoms appear, detoxify immediately, as delay can be fatal. If no abnormalities show up and the exam is clear, no treatment is needed.
