Why is my dog vomiting blood, not eating, and has strange stool?

Question

I don't mean to disgust anyone with the attached photos. Just concerned for Stephanie's health. I am swamped in Nigeria with waves of inexperienced vets who are more interested in collecting money than properly treating Stephanie. Stephanie's appetite has been degrading and now she is no longer eating. She ate a leaf and vomited it with blood and her stool doesn't look right to me. I need help please. What is wrong with her? Pet's info: Dog | Rottweiler | Female | unspayed | 1 year old | 76 lbs

Unfortunately, without an exam and thorough workup it would be hard to say why she is vomiting blood or having strange stools as this is a very vague symptom of many different issues. If she's eating leaves of certain plants, they may be toxic or causing ulcers in the GI tract which is leading to issues. Parasites, illnesses, injuries, obstructions, underlying health conditions and more can also cause blood in the vomit or stool, and need to be checked out in person. Complete bloodwork from a local vet, a stool sample test, and X-rays of the abdomen can help narrow down potential causes.
