Vomiting, bloody diarrhea, and passing worms suggest an internal parasite infection or parvovirus or coronavirus infection; take the dog to the hospital for fecal and infectious-disease testing without delay. If a visit is not possible and the dog is stable, deworm it and use probiotics and acid-suppressants, feeding only liquid food during recovery.
I bought a puppy from a dog market; I don’t know when it was dewormed or vaccinated. What should I do?
