Bella’s symptoms are concerning, particularly because her stool contains blood or appears black. This could indicate gastrointestinal bleeding, which can result from several causes, including severe intestinal infections (like parvovirus or bacterial infections), ingestion of toxins, foreign body obstructions, or more systemic issues like clotting disorders.

At her young age, Bella is at higher risk of dehydration due to her small size and inability to retain fluids. This can quickly become life-threatening, especially if she is rejecting water. Please use an oral syringe to gently administer small amounts at a time. Avoid force-feeding or large quantities to prevent further vomiting.

Temporarily withhold food for 12–24 hours to allow her digestive system to rest. Afterward, offer a bland diet such as boiled chicken (no seasoning) and rice in small amounts to see if she can tolerate it.

Be alert for additional symptoms that might indicate worsening conditions. These include severe lethargy where she cannot stand, pale gums (a sign of shock or anemia), a distended abdomen suggesting internal bleeding or obstruction, or seizures, which could stem from severe dehydration or toxicity. If any of these develop, Bella’s condition requires immediate veterinary attention.

If she hasn't eaten for more than 2 days, I recommend taking her to the vet as soon as possible.
