I think she has colitis and I don’t know what to do or if I should take her to a vet.


I'm sorry to hear that your Yorkshire Terrier is experiencing these symptoms. Bloody or black diarrhea, especially when accompanied by vomiting and lasting for several days, can be concerning and may indicate a serious condition such as colitis or another gastrointestinal issue. While probiotics can help support gut health, they might not be sufficient in this case given the severity and duration of the symptoms.
It's important to ensure she stays hydrated, as diarrhea and vomiting can lead to dehydration. You can offer her small amounts of water frequently. Avoid giving her any food for a short period to allow her stomach to settle, but if she seems hungry, you can try offering a bland diet like boiled chicken and rice in small portions.
Given the presence of bloody diarrhea and vomiting, I strongly recommend taking her to a veterinarian as soon as possible. These symptoms can indicate a more serious underlying condition that requires professional evaluation and treatment. A vet can perform necessary tests to determine the exact cause and provide appropriate care.
If you have any further questions please ask us. Thank you.
