Okay....we rushed her to the ER yesterday because she was throwing up very dark vomit. The dr said that it was blood. She is continuously throwing up, and having diarehha. She cannot hold anything down. Well, the dr did find an ulcer in her stomach, but he said that he thinks the bleeding is actually from a tear in her digestive system. Well, she has tubes all in her with very very dark blood coming out of them. If it was a tear in her digestive system...wouldn't the blood be bright instead of dark. Sorry, I jus want a second opinion in case this dr is wrong. They are still going to run all the scans on her, but I am a very anxious person, and i want to know what is wrong with her now. Thanks for all your help!

If you want a second opinion, get it from a second doctor not from strangers on the Internet.
Blood from bleeding in the digestive system will usually be dark by the time it comes out in vomit or stool.

It would depend where the tear is from!! Bright red blood is usually something they dont worry too much about but dark red blood means its coming from some place internal and she probably has a bleeding ulcer. Try not to worry too much until you have to worry!

It sounds like some internal bleeding is going on, if you feel you need a second opinion then ask for it. It's your right.
