Poor kitten! I think you're in the right for trying to get in sooner to have her checked out by your vet. If she is bleeding a lot or is having severe diarrhea or vomiting, then seeking out care from another vet or even an emergency clinic may be a good idea. Keeping her bottom clean and dry can help, and feeding a bland meal of some boiled chicken may help as well until you can be seen.

You need to take this kitten into a vet immediately. It's very serious that she has black colored diarrhea, which means there is digested blood in it. There is blood coming somewhere from her upper GI tract, and that is a medical emergency. She may be so sick from the bleeding causing her to not want to eat. She needs veterinary care right away. Best of luck.
