black and liquid stool What does that mean? he's been on hamburger and rice for two days..no treats or anything else. I'm thinking it's getting worse, not better? Black liquid? Can't be good |
In humans a black stool means blood. I would definitely call the vet! |

I agree. Has he been on any meds? I know pepto bismol will really darken their stool. |
Vet Sounds like time to go to the vet. Our little guy had loose stools for about 2 days and was less active and we took him to the vet to find he had an infection. I also agree with the other Yorkie talkers...blood=black stool in humans, and medicine may play a part. Good luck!:) I hope your little guy feels better ASAP!:love: |
Hi. Definitely see the vet immediately. Black stool is not a "good thing" and these little guys are fragile. Take care, Deborah |
omg.....that is scary. once you get back from the vets let us know what is going on. i hope everything is ok |
I think that hamburger has to much fat for these little guys can lead to pancreatitis. Boiled chicken is much better without any skin of course. Mine have had the black stool. We took a stool sample to the vet to check for any parasites which was negative. It was gastroenteritis and can even be from stress. We were given some meds,a shot of fluid to prevent dehydration and a bland diet of boiled chicken and rice. They were all better in a few days. Just take to the vet and good luck to you. |
stool I made an appointment for tomorrow at another vet. This is the third vet since I've brought him home. I was just looking at him last night thinking poor little guy. Not even six months and he's been to the vet at least once every two weeks, been on nonstop medicine since 7 weeks old and his butt most be so sore from all of his diarrhea:( I'm hoping this vet will finally figure out what is going on with him so his life can be normal. |
sounds similar to Chibi Make sure he doesn't have an infection. Our Chibi had some kind of bacterial infection, his butt was sore and he even shaked a little as if in pain. We got antibiotics and he was better. The vet could tell because he looked at our Chibi's stool under the microscope. He got a sample from a thermometer he placed in his butt. Sorry it sounds gross, but hopefully your vet can check the stools as well! |

He's been on medicine because he had worms when we got him, camplyobacter twice, a bacteria infection as well. I'm pretty sure you can't get rid of worms or camplyobacter without medicine but more recently I feel he's been put on medicince for something they don't really know. I'm trying and doing the best I can to make sure Boston gets healthy and Zoey stays healthy. It's so hard to constantly be worrying and stressed out especially when he can't tell me what's wrong with him:( He just cuddles up and wants me to protect him. |

Poor baby. I pray the new vet can fix him right up. You are doing everything right. |
Hey there - medication can do this to a degree - but if you\'re feeling it\'s not quite right I\'d def go back to the vet - the bad thing about liquid stools is they can dehydrate really quick so you want him checked for that. As far as food - I don\'t \'do\' hamburger for my girls sick or healthy - it always upsets their tummies - why not try some chicken ?? Poor baby - I hope he starts feeling better soon - this really has been a while now and he needs to be all better !! |
