strange stool

My 6yr old dog had a bout of diarreha during the night. I noticed however that this was preceded by hard, white, old looking feces. What could this mean?

Take a sample of the stool and go to the vet to have it analyzed. It is not expensive to do so. This way you will find out immediately rather than having people who cannot see the stool try and figure it out. Good luck.

Definately does sound like something that was digested.
