It sounds like your dog is experiencing a couple of concerning issues: diarrhea with bloody or black stools and discomfort in her hind leg. Both of these symptoms can be serious and warrant close attention.

For the diarrhea, especially since it has been ongoing for two days and involves bloody or black stools, this could indicate a gastrointestinal issue such as an infection, parasites, or even something more severe like a bleeding ulcer or ingestion of a toxic substance. Ensure she stays hydrated by offering plenty of fresh water. You can also try giving her a bland diet, such as boiled chicken and rice, to see if that helps settle her stomach. However, given the severity of the symptoms, it would be best to have her checked by a veterinarian as soon as possible.

Regarding her hind leg, the jolting and growling suggest she is in pain. This could be due to a sprain, strain, or something more serious like a ligament injury or a fracture. You can try to keep her comfortable by limiting her movement and applying a cold compress to the affected area for short periods to reduce any potential swelling. If she shows signs of swelling, redness, or increased pain, or if she continues to avoid putting weight on the leg, it's crucial to have her examined by a veterinarian to determine the exact cause and appropriate treatment.

Given the combination of these symptoms and their severity, I strongly recommend seeking veterinary care immediately. The diarrhea with bloody stools and the significant discomfort in her hind leg both require professional evaluation to ensure she receives the appropriate treatment and relief.
