This is a serious medical problem that can become life threatening. It could be parvovirus or hemorrhagic gastroenteritis, or due to a severe intestinal parasite overload. Regardless she could become severely dehydrated and anemic so she needs veterinary care right away. They will give fluids and medication to control the vomiting and diarrhea. They will run tests to get the correct diagnosis so they will be sure to treat her correctly. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach to help you care for Chata.

This is very concerning, the dark colour indicates she may have a bleed in the gastrointestinal tract. Urine blood tests for medical issues such as kidney and liver disease may be required as well as an abdominal x-ray for any signs of obstruction or constipation. Intravenous fluids may be required for dehydration also. Please schedule a recheck as soon as possible
