yes, her vet tested her stool but as per vet no parasite found to it. the vet gave me drotame tablets for my shihtzu to take. and also antibacterial suspension that would be taken for 7days.

Answer

If they gave an anit bacteiral suspension it may be the pup has coccidia which you can read about here

or giardia

But with the dog vomiting blood I'd see your vet again as this can be due to a viral infection such as parvo

which they can test for or a problem with a swallowed non food item etc.
Hope this helps you!
