He watched our other yorkie puppy Cruiser (he's 91/2 months old) poop and then ran over and ate it! I yelled out the window at him but it was too late! Gross! And the last two mornings he's brought in a frozen turdcicle from outside. Obviously I got it away from him and flushed it, but yuck!!!! He's notdoing it all the time because there's still plenty of uneaten poop in the yard, but I don't want him to do it at all.
I just watched an episode of the dog whisperer where a dog was eating poop and Cesar had him eat bananas instead. He said it was because he was in need of the potassium that he was doing it. I wonder if other people have had this issue and how you've dealt with it. Any suggestions? |
"Turdcicle!!!
THAT is just too funny!!
KiKi was a poop eater too!! and
OMG...you would think she had a piece of steak!! She would get a piece of poo from her room (pee pad trained) and she would RUN as fast as she could with it to the living room..on her blanket and lay down to eat it!
She thought it was the greatest thing in the world!!! EWWWWW!!! The kids would call her SH**HEAD and I would get mad at the kids for calling her that!!
I am SOOOO glad she out grew that nasy habit!!
Good luck!
