Poop eating is the least of my worries with a pup. It's a behavior that is learned from mom. Then there are those that because they don't like to see their area dirty it is their way of keeping it clean and not leaving their scent. Can it be fixed, absolutely....one just has to be diligent, watching when they poop and cleaning it up immediately. It can also be a nervous issue, unhappy.

It's a joke amongst many of the old time breeders, that if a female is eating poop it's good sign she'll make a good mother......after all doesn't she diaper the pups.

Glad you got her back and she's loved, safe and happy.
