Boric acid affects ants both externally (when in powder form; similar to diatomaceous earth) and internally (when ingested).

Report Abuse. Usually a dog who has black stool is not getting the right kind of food because they tend to go eatting from the wrong sources. I had a dog(short haired) collie who had this problem. I took a sample the day of the appointment(when he first had one) and brought it in.eport Abuse.

The hookworm, also known as Ancylostoma and Uncinaria is a parasite that resides in the intestine of the dog. Having teeth, the worm feeds on the blood of the dog. The symptoms of hookworms are more severe in puppies. When the parasite feeds on the dog's blood, this can easily lead to anemia. The anemia signs are pale gums and discolored tongue and nose, hair loss and dry skin. A dog with hookworms will also show symptoms of tiredness, have diarrhea and vomit. If the dog doesn't have diarrhea, he might have hard, black colored feces. Hookworms are small and rarely visible in the stool of the dog. Usually hookworm eggs are present in the feces, but these are only visible under the microscope.
