Our 15 year old toy poodle isn't eating. Seems to have lost control of her bowel movements. Does drink water. Sometimes collapses. Didn't move all day yesterday. Her stool is watery, sometimes bloody.

Your poor pup! She sounds very sick, and it's quite serious that she is having bloody stools. At her age, she could have something seriously wrong causing her symptoms, such as GI tumors. It's also very concerning that she didn't move all day yesterday, which could be due to pain. I would take her into a vet immediately.
