My sister sent me this, it maybe ought be a sticky...(no pun intended)
Reading Stools: Poopology 101 Yellow or greenish stool -- indicates rapid transit (small bowel). Black, Tarry stool -- indicates bleeding in the upper digestive tract. Bloody stool -- red blood or clots indicate bleeding in the colon. Pasty, light-colored stool -- indicates lack of bile (liver disease). Large, gray, rancid-smelling stool -- indicates inadequate digestion or absorption (malabsorption syndrome). Watery stool -- indicates small bowel wall irritation (toxins and severe infections). Foamy stool -- suggests a bacterial infection. Greasy stool -- often with oil on the air around the anus: indicates malabsorption Excessive mucus -- a glistening or jelly like appearance: indicates colonic origin. Odor (the more watery the stool, the greater the odor) Food like or smelling like sour milk -- suggests both rapid transit and malabsorption. Putrid smelling -- suggests an intestinal infection. Frequency Several in an hour, each small, with straining -- suggests colitis Three or four times a day each large -- suggests malabsorption or small bowel disorder. Condition of Dog: Weight loss, malnutrition -- suggests small bowel disorder. Normal appetite, minimal weight loss -- suggests large bowel disorder. Vomiting - small bowel origin, except for colitis.

This is a cool webpage that I just found. It's intended for humans, but there's a lot of cross-over.
What's not to love about a website called: Studying Stools ??
