These signs could be compatible with an inflammation infection of the gastrointestinal system and surrounding organs (like pancreas and liver). Dark feces could be compatible with a gastrointestinal bleeding in the upper part of the intestine. A clinical examination at your local veterinarian is immediately essential to confirm these clinical suspicions and treat appropriately. Antibiotics and possibly further investigations (like abdominal imaging as ultrasound or radiographs) may be needed.
