My rescued dog, Chenoa, has had very dark, runny bowel movements and has not been eating much for the last day and a half. She recently ate raw hamburger. Could this have caused her issues, and what should I do?

We have a rescue dog, Maggie, a 2-year-old pittie, who was rescued with a broken left hind leg and a shearing injury. After a long delay due to a bone infection and other complications, a specialist determined that her bones had fused on their own, and she has good range of motion. Maggie occasionally favors her leg but it doesn't seem painful. We have her on glucosamine-condroiten supplements and green-lip muscle powder. Our questions are: Does the fact that she favors the leg mean that she's in pain? Assuming we made the right decision to forgo the arthrodesis surgery, is there anything else (medication, supplements, physical therapy) we should be doing?

My 5 lb Maltese jumped out of his stroller and crashed his chest on a hard tile floor. He's been whining, unable to sleep, and has had semi-loose stools since the incident. He hasn't eaten since the event. Should I take him for an X-ray to check for cracked ribs or stomach injury?
