I know exactly what you are going through. When I brought my 2 new pups home I had high expectations but they were soon dashed. After finding out they had ear mites, we discovered they had mange. Their digestive system was a mess and no food was agreeing with them. On top of it all they decided their poop was mighty tasty. They came from a bad breeder whom I turned in but I rescued these precious babies anyway. I too was at my wits ends but am so happy that I did not give up on them. They are doing sooooo much better now. They have stopped eating their poop ever since I changed them to a grain free food, Natural Balance Potato & Duck to be exact. They love it and have gotten healthier since I've been feeding it to them. They have even become easier to house break, have resolved practically all their behavioral issues too. I have a pen for them and a kennel, this is essential IMO. They have also been in training classes for 4 weeks now, which is helping tremendously too. We, as responsible fur baby owners, have to put the work in to have great dogs and some just require more time and work. I have to say when I was losing sleep, frustrated & crying from all the trips to the vet & the ER, losing patience with them about house training, I was on the verge of giving up. Hang in there, things will change but you have to be diligent. They will be so appreciative that you didn't give up on them and you will be too. I love my little girls so much & they love me back just as much!
