Yesterday, I had to ask a dog daycare client what he feeds his
French Bulldog. The dog's stools are firm and the darkest--
almost black--I've ever seen. Eukanuba, but he wasn't sure
which version.
OP: get yourself to the vet.

I've fed various Eukanubas and they do produce dark poops,
but not ones that look like they've got blood in them. I've
recently discovered that slipping the dogs a few pieces of
beets can produce eyebrow-raising poops.

The black tarry stuff is digested blood, which is a sure sign that there's
some kind of damage to the dog's digestive tract and it's bleeding
internally somewhere.
My dogs occasionally poop really dark -- but otherwise normal-looking --
poop, and sometimes the poop is two-tone (starts off really dark, then
becomes more mornal). There's never been a problem with this, and my vet has
told me that it's OK. It's when the poop looks a bit like tar that I was
told to worry.
On occasions when the dogs have battled with diarrhea, they have
occasionally pooped whatever messy stools with obvious streaks of red blood
on them. If the blood on the stool is red, it's undigested. This is usually
from anal irritation from the constant pooping due to the diarrhea.

Not a sure sign because the healthy Frenchie I have had here has
all of your indicators.
Please don't top post. These groups, perhaps more than others,

No, not a bored teenager. The truth, but nobody mentioned chicken bones.
Is it possible that that could be the cause of the bleeding?
Thanks for your response.
FurPaw
I think that was because ingested chicken bones are the most
obvious potential cause of gastric bleeding - no one thought to
mention them specifically.
Yes, chicken bones can puncture an intestine, leading to
bleeding, serious infection (peritonitis) and often death,
especially if not treated right away.
How is your dog today? Did you take her to the vet? If not,
please do so immediately, and bring a stool sample.
Sorry to be an alarmist, but if my dog had eaten chicken bones (I
never never never would feed them deliberately, but it could
happen by accident) and then had black stools, I'd break speed
records getting him to a vet.

Or, at the other end of the spectrum, Rocky cowers,

Back at you with flat buckle collars. These are an

"The Koehler Method of Dog Training"

Koehler On Correcting The Housebreaking Backslider.
"If the punishment is not severe enough, some of these
"backsliders" will think they're winning and will
continue to mess in the house. An indelible impression
can sometimes be made by giving the dog a hard
spanking of long duration, then leaving him tied by
the mess he's made so you can come back at twenty
minute intervals and punish him again for the same
thing. (Dogs are REALLY stupid. J.H.)
In most cases, the dog that deliberately does this
disagreeable thing cannot be made reliable by the
light spanking that some owners seem to think is
adequate punishment. It will be better for your dog,
as well as the house, if you really pour it on him."
"Housebreaking Problems:
"The Koehler Method of Dog Training"
Howell Book House, 1996"
Occasionally, there is a pup who seems determined to
relieve himself inside the house, regardless of how
often he has the opportunity to go outside. This dog
may require punishment. Make certain he is equipped
with a collar and piece of line so he can't avoid
correction.
When you discover a mess, move in fast, take him to
the place of his error, and hold his head close enough
so that he associates his error with the punishment.
Punish him by spanking him with a light strap or
switch. Either one is better than a folded newspaper.
It is important to your future relationship that you
do not rush at him and start swinging before you get
hold of him.
When he's been spanked, take him outside. Chances
are, if you are careful in your feeding and close
observation, you will not have to do much punishing.
Be consistent in your handling.
To have a pup almost house-broken and then force
him to commit an error by not providing an opportunity
to go outside is very unfair. Careful planning will
make your job easier.
The same general techniques of housebreaking apply
to grown dogs that are inexperienced in the house.
For the grown dog who was reliable in the house and
then backslides, the method of correction differs
somewhat. In this group of "backsliders" we have the
"revenge piddler." This dog protests being alone by
messing on the floor and often in the middle of a bed.
The first step of correction is to confine the dog
closely in a part of the house when you go away, so
that he is constantly reminded of his obligation. The
fact that he once was reliable in the house is proof
that the dog knows right from wrong, and it leaves
you no other course than to punish him sufficiently
to convince him that the satisfaction of his
wrongdoing is not worth the consequences. If the
punishment is not severe enough, some of these
"backsliders" will think they're winning and will
continue to mess in the house.
An indelible impression can sometimes be made
by giving the dog a hard spanking of long duration,
then leaving him tied by the mess he's made so you
can come back at twenty minute intervals and punish
him again for the same thing.
In most cases, the dog that deliberately does this
disagreeable thing cannot be made reliable by the
light spanking that some owners seem to think is
adequate punishment.
It will be better for your dog, as well as the house,
if you really pour it on him.
