help toby is doing nasty thing he is eating his own pooh..yuck any ideas on how to stop him from this ? none of my other yorkies hav3e never done this |
My Yorkie doesn't eat his poo but I have a Shih Tzu that does. It's weird because she is our second Shih Tzu to do that. I know it's disgusting and once the vet gave (sold) me an additive for the food but it didn't work. I wish I knew an answer for this problem but I don't. From what I've read, it's not all that unusual tho. Some say that's it's prompted by a dietary deficiency but who knows.......:idontknow |
Have you tried giving them pineapple or meat tenderizer on their food? There are several things that can cause it like trying to clean it up before you see it, thinking it tastes good:rolleyes: , playing or a deficiency in their diet. |
A lot of puppies do this...They have never been able to really figure out the reason for it..but, don't feel bad, a lot of us have poop eaters...My 6 mo old does this sometimes too..not pleasant at all, especially when they go to give poopy kisses...some outgrow it, some never do..:( |
My Tara does this too. We have tried Deter, and it hasn't worked, but when she goes outside she doesn't eat it, only when she does one overnight she will eat it as she is alone in the kitchen and nobody's watching her. It's good to teach them to leave it. When they do the poop and try to get it tell them no, leave it. Tara seems to react to that and tonight she hasn't eaten it. Also they say you shouldn't let them see you to pick it up, that they feel they should clean up after themselves and then they start to eat it. I've also caught Tara eating cat poop outside when she was in the back garden of the lead. So that is for her, no more of the lead, that she eats her own poop is bad enough, but some unknown health status cat's poop, no way. It's a problem I hope she will outgrow, she is 4 months now. |
