Thank you. She hasn't pooped yet today. She ate this moring and a little in the afternoon but hasn't pooped yet. I'm going to take her out in a few to see if she will go and see how it looks.

Black tarry stools indicate blood is actually being digested which is much more serious.

If she continues to have a bloody stool, though, it could be HGE. Yorkies are prone to it and it is very serious. It can be fatal if not treated quickly. Here is some information so you know what to watch out for:

Hemorrhagic Gastroenteritis (HGE)
