I recommend bringing Jasper to a veterinarian and bring a stool sample. If there is truly black stool that can indicate bleeding into the intestinal tract but it may just be very dark. Regarding his limping I would want your veterinarian to make sure he didn't break anything, make sure there is no small abscess and to treat accordingly.
