This is very concerning. A problem called HGE or hemorrhagic gastroenteritis could be what is going on. This can be life threatening. I would highly encourage you to have her evaluated by a veterinarian immediately. They will probably recommend running some blood work and possibly some x-rays to determine a diagnosis. She will also likely need IV fluids and possibly antibiotics based on what you describe. I am very worried about her and hope you are able to get her to an emergency center as soon as possible. Best of luck and I hope she improves soon. Thank you for using Pet Coach.
