Nice to hear from you. Feel no guilt about lack of posting during life's busy times😎
Poor kitty... glad to hear he recovered. One of mine got very sick and was near death recently. She refused food for nine days and water for about three or four, till I coaxed her to drink.
I thought it was the end but sneaked nutrients and herbal meds into her colloidal-silver water. She recovered sort of miraculously after two weird looking blackish bowel movements...?!?!?!?
She's eleven years old- old for some. Seems fine now though. Getting her weight and strength back.
Sorry to hear that.
Black stools are indicative of gastrointestinal bleeding. That is, it occurs in the stomach or small intestine and the blood is digested and black. So from there, she could have eaten something that caused her injury or she had an ulcer. Adding Slippery elm bark powder to her food will help with healing. I hope that she continues to improve but if it happens again, let the vet check her out for an ulcer?
Thanks @nikv. Yes, I know black stools can be from gastrointestinal bleeding, but hers were not. She is doing much better now; eating normally and gaining weight with strength back quickly.
That's good news
