Hi there. I'm sorry to hear that Dexter isn't feeling well. What your describing is concerning. It could be kidney failure, but with the black stool I would suspect something causing his intestines to bleed, or blood loss from somewhere else. If you can get him to the vet tonight I'd recommend that. He needs blood work, x rays and fluids before he gets any worse. I hope that helps and best to you and Dexter.
