Why is my Pomeranian tired with a sensitive stomach and dark wet poop?
Updated On September 23rd, 2025
Pet's info: Dog | Pomeranian | Male | unneutered | 10 lbs
I'm unsure if my pomeranian is experiencing bloat. His stomach seems to very sensitive. His abdominal area seems to shake when he is in distress but when he rests it doesn't shake as much, if that makes sense. He is getting rest, but I'm concerned because he is so tired. He doesn't want anyone to touch his stomach and it is making noises. just a little while ago he seemed interested in food.He pooped once today and it was dark and wet. Is he constipated?

I’m sorry to hear that Timmy isn’t feeling well. He is adorable! From the photo I can see that his stool is somewhat soft and dark, an indication of diarrhea. His abdominal pain can be caused by a number of issues with his intestines, an obstruction, pancreatitis, or even ingesting something he shouldn’t have. I recommend having him seen by a vet as soon as possible, especially if he continues to not have an appetite or begins vomiting. Your vet can perform bloodwork and x-rays to determine what is going on. You can also bring a stool sample from Timmy in a disposable container to help your vet check for intestinal parasites.

Hi, and thanks for your question. These signs could be compatible with an inflammation infection of the gastrointestinal system and surrounding organs (like pancreas and liver). A clinical examination at your local veterinarian is immediately essential to confirm these clinical suspicions and treat appropriately. Antibiotics and possibly further investigations (like abdominal imaging as ultrasound or radiographs) may be needed.

Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Poor Winston! Causes of diarrhea are: intestinal parasites, viral or bacterial infections, dietary indiscretion, food allergy or intolerance, pancreatitis, reaction to new food/treat/table food, medications or vaccinations. The blood indicates inflammation. Ideally he should see your Vet for medications. You can start a bland diet of boiled chicken or hamburger with rice. Feed 1 cup per 20 lbs per day until 1-2 normal stools. It could be a food allergy so if it persists then I recommend trying a different food. I hope this helps!

Constant diarrhea is never normal. Make sure that your vet has done a fecal float and fecal smear to see if Taz has worms or other parasites. If he has been dewormed already, he may need to be on a drug called metronidazole for a week or so. Also, probiotics are very helpful for diarrhea. Taz may also need to be on a veterinary prescription food allergy diet like Hills z/d for several weeks. If all these treatments fail, your vet may want to consider testing for intestinal lymphoma or inflammatory bowel disease. Hope that helps!
