Dog Has Black Stool, Eats Lots Of Grass
She seems to feel okay, but her stool is nearly black and wrapped with
straw. I have fed her chicken bones as we have them. Ithinki she might have one lodged in her stomach. The only thing I can think of. |

rec.pets.dogs.health: Black stool means internal bleeding. Yesterday, I had to ask a dog daycare client what he feeds his French Bulldog. The dog's stools are firm and the darkest-- almost black--I've ever seen. Eukanuba, but he wasn't sure which version. OP: get yourself to the vet. -- --Matt. Rocky's a Dog. |

I was always told that black, _tarry_ stool indicates blood in the stool.
The black tarry stuff is digested blood, which is a sure sign that there's some kind of damage to the dog's digestive tract and it's bleeding internally somewhere. My dogs occasionally poop really dark -- but otherwise normal-looking -- poop, and sometimes the poop is two-tone (starts off really dark, then becomes more mornal). There's never been a problem with this, and my vet has told me that it's OK. It's when the poop looks a bit like tar that I was told to worry. On occasions when the dogs have battled with diarrhea, they have occasionally pooped whatever messy stools with obvious streaks of red blood on them. If the blood on the stool is red, it's undigested. This is usually from anal irritation from the constant pooping due to the diarrhea. Chuck "Melinda Shore" wrote in message ...

Not a sure sign because the healthy Frenchie I have had here has all of your indicators. Please don't top post. These groups, perhaps more than others, seem to work best when we think we're having a conversation. -- --Matt. Rocky's a Dog. |

If you're not a bored teenager trolling, go to the
vet, go right to the vet, do not pass go, do not collect a dime. Black stool means internal bleeding. No, not a bored teenager. The truth, but nobody mentioned chicken bones. Is it possible that that could be the cause of the bleeding? Thanks for your response. |

The truth, but nobody mentioned chicken bones. Is it possible that that could be the cause of the bleeding? Thanks for your response. I think that was because ingested chicken bones are the most obvious potential cause of gastric bleeding - no one thought to mention them specifically. Yes, chicken bones can puncture an intestine, leading to bleeding, serious infection (peritonitis) and often death, especially if not treated right away. How is your dog today? Did you take her to the vet? If not, please do so immediately, and bring a stool sample. Sorry to be an alarmist, but if my dog had eaten chicken bones (I never never never would feed them deliberately, but it could happen by accident) and then had black stools, I'd break speed records getting him to a vet.

YOU NEVER GIVE A DOG CHICKEN BONES OR PORK BONES!#!!!These can splinter in the dogs stomach and can puncture their stomach lining.
