Thank you for submitting your question regarding Gilda. I recommend that she sees a veterinarian today. Tarry stool can indicate digested blood from the upper gastrointestinal tract. This is most commonly due to an intestinal infection from parasites or a viral infection such as the parvovirus. This can be diagnosed with with fecal testing. I hope this information helps!
