The change is stool color is probably from the medication or new supplement. It doesn’t look like it is from blood from the photo. As long as he’s feeling fine finish the antibiotics and check the stool after they are done. It should go back to his normal stool color. If the dark stool continues then I recommend having it checked for occult blood and intestinal parasites. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach to help you care for Bruno.
