So my boy had been on the blockage protocol. He will have good poohs and some bad with mucous(passing some hairballs). Today he had a smelly bad one, so I smeared it about and also smeared these little black specks in it, and they turned red. I decided to seal up the pooh sample and refrigerate it. I may take it to my vet Monday, and see if it is blood.

It almost looks like it. Is it possibly a bone shard with the marrow intact inside it?

That couold well be blood. I wish you could get fecal occult blood tests OTC. I found them for urine in dogs and cats, but not for feces. Has he been diagnosed with IBD ever? strong smelly poops make me concerned, but with passing a hairball and the blockage treatment... I think I may have sea hairball once in our history of 30 ferts.

Thanks for that information Unclejoe. That does make me concerned. The little black things are not hard---so that could be it.
