The symptoms are concerning and suggest a potentially serious underlying health issue. The presence of bloody or black stools can indicate gastrointestinal bleeding, which, along with the other symptoms, could be due to a variety of causes such as parvovirus, intestinal parasites, a foreign body ingestion, or even a severe bacterial infection.

Immediate supportive care is crucial. Even though you're not able to get her to eat or drink, it's important to keep her hydrated as much as possible. You can try offering small amounts of water or an electrolyte solution frequently. If she's unable to keep this down, this is a sign that she needs more intensive care.

If you notice additional symptoms such as extreme lethargy, difficulty breathing, pale gums, or if she collapses, these are signs that her condition is worsening and she needs to be seen by a professional immediately. These symptoms indicate a critical situation where every moment counts.

And did your pet get all the vaccines? There’s a possibility of Parvo virus. If it’s a parvo virus, there’s nothing you can do at home. You should go to the vet. Parvo virus has very high propagation power. In addition, in the case of young pets, the fatality rate is also somewhat high.

In conclusion, I recommend taking Duchess to the vet as soon as possible.
