Hello, sorry to hear about Alex. The stool is indeed normal in color. The hair is likely from Alex licking/chewing at his coat or picking up hair from the ground. Hair is not normally digested while passing through the GI tract and therefore you’re likely seeing hair from him ingesting it. Hope this helps and best of luck
