Why is my dog's poop abnormal and he has no appetite after ticks?

Question

My dog’s poop doesn’t seem normal at times. He seems to have a loss of appetite. We found two ticks sucking his blood on two occasions. I applied PetArmor plus for dogs. Can you tell from his poop what is wrong with him? Thanks. Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Medium (23 - 60lb) | Male | 7 months old

Hi and thanks for posting on Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! It can be hard to say for sure to know exactly what is the cause of his loss of appetite from looking at his stools alone. A full exam and additional diagnostics such as blood work, fecal testing, and x-rays are needed in order to get a good idea. The one thing I do see with Fendi's feces is stringy mesh like material in the stool which is not normal. If Fendi ate something he shouldn't around the house, this may be the cause of the stringy material. Foreign material such as this can potentially cause gastrointestinal blockages which can be potentially serious. I would recommend Fendi see his veterinarian very soon for an exam and full work up so a diagnosis can be made and Fendi can receive the most appropriate care and treatment.
