The dog's behavior, including energy levels, bathroom habits, play, and eating, remains normal. What should be the next steps to diagnose and address this issue?

My female terrier, Coco, is 8 years old. For the past 2 days, she has been experiencing diarrhea that squirts out of her butt, the stool is very dark, and she has been vomiting yellow stomach bile.
