My 7yr old dog vomited and pooped up blood help please!!?

My poodle threw up this morning but it looked like his usual vomit so ignored but he just threw up again tonight and it was bright red blood and kinda foamy. The thing is he's been actin normal and he only threw up blood just this once and Im just wondering what it could be! I also took him out for a walk and his poop had some blood in it..but he's acting normal and his usual self.

The thing is that we really don't have much money right now especially because of the holidays and I really want to take him to the vet but am afraid I won't be able to afford whatever it is he might need. I don't want to take him if it's nothing serious...like My sister was reading online that it could just be something he ate (because my dog goes through the trash) but I'm afraid it might be much worse than that. Please don't just say "go to the vet" my sister is trying to get ahold of one since its past hours..has anybody ever had an experience like this???

Update:

So we took him last night and they did tests and apparently he just ate something that irritated his stomach but he has stop throwing up. The vet gave him some injections to stop the vomiting and he has to take pills but he's fine now :)

And of course I was gonna take him lol! I was just asking if anybody had a similar situation. I would NEVER just let him suffer like that but let's be real I don't have $1000 to spend right now that's all I was saying. He is my only dog and I do care about him I wouldve put it on my credit card if I had to. but thank goodness he's okay!

    You can't get a diagnosis on here. Dogs act normal when they are sick. They will continue to act and look normal until they are dramatically ill. It doesn't sound like it's worth the expense of an emergency vet. Call the regular vet in the morning. Get a stool sample and bring that with you to the vet.

    NOTHING SERIOUS!!!! R U KIDDING ME! o unless you think ITS OK FOR YOUR DOG DIE IF YOU THINK A DEAD DOG ISNT SERIOUS! look i know how you feel that you cant afford a vet but if hes throwing up bright red blood and pooping blood there is nothing you can do at home to help him he could of eatin a chicken bone witch can cut a dogs stomic and that might be whats causing the bleeding

    Throwing up blood is always serious. It's not from something they ate. It's not minor and you need to go to the vet, maybe they can set up payments for treatments.
