Unable to think of anything lola would have consumed that would cause this color. No blueberries were consumed. Does this look like blood?

Thank you for submitting your question regarding Lola. The coloring of her feces does not appear to be blood. If she is acting normal, I would monitor her next bowel movement closely. If diarrhea develops or the stool begins to contain mucus or obvious traces of blood (blood in the stool is frequently more liquidy), then she should see her veterinarian. I hope this information helps!

I wouldn't be overly concerned unless the blood continues. Usually a drop of blood is just due to some minor colon irritation or straining. Of course there are other possibilities as to why there could be blood in the stool but I would only be worried if this is a persistent problem.
