Charlies Faeces is Black?

Frog2 · 19-07-2009, 07:28 PM

Just wondering if someone could shed some light. Charlies poos are black & apparently tar-like, We looked up on the internet & are worried now as all sites mention internal bleeding or severe parasites? Hoping we are worrying un-neccessarily, Any ideas what this could be? Thanks, Becki X

It could be an upset tummy or something like that. If it were my cat I think I'd go to the vet asap (with a sample, if poss).

If it is blood or heavy worm burden then better being sorted asap.

Please let us know how you get on.

I would agree, if at all worried then please do take a sample with you. I'm sure it wont be anything too serious and easily remedied.

Have they always been like this, or is it a recent development? I'd call and discuss it with the vet, appointment if they think it necessary. necessary..

Thanks for the replies. Lewis is at work atm but will speak to him on his break & see if we can get Charlie down the vets tonight X

We managed to get Charlie in at the vets tonight< we have had his first injections done an we asked the vet about his faeces. The vet said its nothing to worry about as long as he is running about and being himself, or maybe due to his food being changed since we first got Charlie, We will keep an eye on him

Thankyou for the posts much appreciated

Glad to hear that it was nothing to worry about, if in doubt, check it out.

Glad to hear the vet is satisfied it's nothing to worry about....... hopefully it will all settle down soon
