Why is my dog playful but has bloody diarrhea, black stool, won't eat?

Question

Vomiting, diarrhea that went from blood to black. Shes still playful.. She has like brown water dripping from her butt. The vomiting has stopped because we gave her ondansetron. She will drink on her own. But, she has no appetite. She wont eat. We have tried everything.. Anyone know what could be going on?

I think this may be a repetition of a previous question... Severe hemorrhagic gastroenteritis due to infection (viral/bacterial) or intoxication are very likely considering the signs you are describing. An immediate check up is absolutely needed, before her condition deteriorates. Antibiotics, IV fluids and symptomatic treatment for diarrhoea are needed. Please do not hesitate to contact us again on the forum or by requesting a consultation (where you can post pictures ) if you have any more questions or to discuss it any further.
