New mommy needs some help, PLEASE!!! I've caught my Yorkie eating his own feces on three different occasions in the past 24 hours. How do I get him to stop? He's also constantly sneezing. My boyfriend guesses that it's the carpet causing him to have allergies, but the puppy wasn't sneezing this much when I brought him home last week. The easiest thing to do would be to take him to the vet, but are there any cheaper alternatives? We just went to the vet 3 days ago, and he was fine then. Thanks! :animal-pa |
It's not uncommon for them to eat their own feces. I don't know why, but I just pick it up as soon as they make the mess and that is the end of it. Sneezing sounds like allergies. How old is your puppy? You can give a little Benadryl for allergies, but I'd be very careful if you have a young puppy. Better to see the vet than make a mistake. Good luck. |
You can get something to put in his food so his poop won't taste good to him. Also, just pick it up quickly. He will probably outgrow it, too. I think sneezing is pretty common and nothing to worry about unless it's constant. If it's really often, I'd get him checked out by a vet. |
Four Paws Potty Mouth Tablets is one of the cures I found at petco.com- our yorkies did the same thing- vet said it's not harmful but it does leave them smelling quite disgusting- she gave us a packet of basically the same stuff crushed up to sprinkle on their food and it worked right away- i'd go to the pet store and see what they have or search online to see if there's anything you could use that's already in your home |
The stuff we got from our vet was "For-bid" or something to that effect - I think it was like 30-50 cents a packet. We picked up a couple, followed the directions, within a few days no more poop eating. |
