Thanks for the questionCustomerIn direct answer to your question : Black tarry faeces are a classic sign of bleeding into the intestinal tract. { Melaena }This is a serious symptom and you should have your dog checked out as soon as practicable. In a young dog such as yours there is a good chance that this is nothing to worry too much about but have her checked anyway. Better safe than sorry.If I have not covered your question fully enough or you would like to ask more I will be online for the next hour or so and I will be at your disposal. Scott Nimmo BVMS
