EEWwwwww!!! My yorki, Piper, took a poop and then.....started eating it!!! is this normal? and what can i do to make her stop. She's three months old and i'm also in the process of potty training her. |
Very normal. Go up to the search button and type in "poop." You'll find a million and one threads about it. ;) |
Hello and welcome to YT!!! Alot of puppies and dogs will eat their own poop or even other animals. Sometimes they grow out of it, and sometimes they don't. You can buy coprophagia tablets to your puppy to stop it from this habit. You can get them at most pet stores and they arn't expensive. |
We had a chic that use to raid the litterbox. Talk about eeewwwww :(~~~ |
thanks guys! Oh, and i taught her to sit today! very good ending to a bad day!:) |
Well congrats on training her to sit. Some dogs eat their poop, you can add pineapple to her food and that will make the poop taste nasty. You can also buy deter at the petstore. You can search old posts regarding eating poop, you will find lots of advise. Good luck. |
Once she is housetrained you can just let her out a leash if it becomes a problem. Loki had diarrhea once and ate it. He also ate whatever he puked up the other day as I was screaming at him not to! Ick! If it becomes a problem, walk her on a leash and pick it up. Loki goes out in the yard on a flexi lead and then I pick up his poop every other day or so. There's not much temptation that way! |
Hobbs used to eat his poop, but he grew out of it after about 4 months. |
