Why is my cat's poop black after giving birth to her kittens?

Question

Hello, my cat has black looking feces and that has never happened before. I give her healthy food from Royal canin. Is there something I can do other than going to the vet since my parents can't really go there at the moment? What could be the causes of her having black looking feces? She gave birth to 6 kittens 15 days ago. Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Female

Hello! If Bella hasn't been eating anything new, I am concerned that her black-colored feces could be a serious, potentially life-threatening situation. Black, tarry stools usually indicates bleeding in the upper gastrointestinal tract. Potentially, she could have a retained fetus, which could be causing internal damage. I highly recommend that you get her to the vet as soon as possible, for her life and the life of her kittens. Good luck, and I hope Bella feels better soon!
