Oh no, poor Panda! It is concerning that he had dark stools this afternoon and this can be due to blood from his GI tract. I would monitor him for now since he is bright and eating. Should he continue vomiting, becomes lethargic, continues to have diarrhea, and/or stops eating he will need to see a vet immediately.
