[Gracie2006]

I suggest you not read this post anywhere close to meal time. Now, keep in mind, Gracie is my first dog in adulthood. I know that dogs eat everything. I have caught Gracie trying to eat the fur balls that the cats bring up. Today is the ultimate in gross.

Gracie and I went to the park, a rare day without rain. There was dog and duck poop everywhere. Gracie so wanted to run. I do not trust her off leash so I had her on an extra long lead, probably 30 feet or so. I took her out on the grass and just let her run and do what she wanted. I know her nose was down in the grass, I could not tell if she ate anything or not. Anyway, we came home and I put Gracie in her ex-pen for a couple of hours while I went shopping. I came home, let her out of her ex-pen, and she proceeded to barf up a long, soft poop mixed with grass. I really don't think it was hers coming out the wrong end but I can't be certain. She does not act sick. I about lost it. Should I be concerned? Is duck poop dangerous to dogs? I really think this was dog poop but I worry about it being duck poop. I have no clue how she swallowed that thing whole. I am a nurse and not much grosses me out but this one is getting to me bad. Tell me if I need to worry and call the vet, or watch and wait (I am inclined to watch and wait).

And just in case, if any of you are laughing, please stop!
