Black Poo

[Gunner]

Hi All

Gunner has black poo today    just wondered if its normal for it to change colour every now and again

Many Thanks

Hi has he eaten anything unusual or a change from his diet? Shadows does change colour but only when he ate something for instance he ate a carrot (orange poo)

So long as Gunner is well, it's probably down to his food (or scavenging pick-ups!)

Buddy's goes dark when he has tripe or liver (I think?)

If he is showing any signs of pain, feeling sick or generally unwell then I would get him checked up as black poo can be a sign of bleeding internally (but it is rare, so don't panic!)

Hope he's ok. Do let us know.

He is absolutely fine in himself he does try to eat everything  so maybe it is something he has eaten.....

His diet has stayed the same I'll see how it is tommorrow

Thanks for your reply's

Eric has dark poo some days even when his food hasn't changed.
I've never thought it was unusual until you mentioned it.
My last dog Groove used to have a taste for wax crayons, now rainbow coloured poo is interesting

Probably something he's eaten but would keep an eye on him.  Our pup passed bright red poos last week - I panicked.  But on close examination (ewwww) and a bit of detective work she had eaten some pot pourri.

Fred is quite vocal so could probable 'sing a rainbow' as the song goes but 'pooing' a rainbow is something spectacular!!

Otter has had a few of these in the last day after his major diawhotsits

My daughter didn't find the pooing a rainbow quite as entertaining. It's funny the only colour he didn't eat was the brown

Mine lot have darker ones after eating things high in iron ie liver.

Mine had blue poo after he scoffed a whole blueberry muffin while our backs were turned!!!
