Black feces is either tick fever or whip worms. The reason it is black is from internal bleeding. Possible that he injured himself internally. He is definitely bleeding internally. Hounds often break blood vessels when running but if they are healthy they will clot and quit bleeding but if they have tick fever the tick injects a substance into the blood vessel to prevent clotting therefore they hemorage to death. If it is whip worms three days of Panacur or Safeguard will get rid of the whip worms. Good luck
Oh no, man I hope not. I wonder what would cause that? Reckon she got into something while she was out? I've checked for tics this evening didn't find none.
Thanks for the help. I started her on penicillin and liquid vitamins. I'll up date on her in a few days. But she did eat this morning. So that's a plus.
Jason if your hound is eating good and drinking water without throwing it back up its not kidney failure. One tell tale sign of kidney failure is a dogs breath will have a fairly powerful ammonia smell to it like cat ***** If the dog is eating it's gums are pink and the bottom of its eye lids are pink the hound should be fine
Eventually the vet put him down but he would get better for a couple weeks then start back dring 4 gallons of water a day he did that for a couple months before I took him to the vet and if you like the dog I would take him asap the vet told me any time a dog drinks a lot of water just being in the pen it's always kidney related
