He goes just about everywhere with me and really hates it when we leave him behind. I did notice on Wed. when we got back he wouldn't bark. He was still running around and was very excited to see me like always. My vet was closed on Thurs. and I couldn't take him Friday because my DD had a doctor's appointment as well. By Friday he started acting more like his normal self.He also pooped a normal color and hasn't gotten sick anymore since Thursday. Today it is like everything is back to normal.
Has anyone ever gone through this before? I have been told that he could have worked himself up into a frenzy because we left him behind. They say that stress can cause their stomachs to bleed. I also went and bought some new dog food that might be easier on his stomach. I bought Nutro NATURAL CHOICE® CHICKEN MEAL, RICE & OATMEAL FORMULA .So any thoughts?

Tarry stools are stools with blood in them. He was bleeding from somewhere in his body.
I honetly don't think they can work themselves up that much. I would go to the vet anyway to have him checked out. Better safe than sorry. Good luck!
