Help, Mannie is 7 mos old and eats his own poop.

[sherreegowen33]

Hello Everyone, My name is Sherree and I am new to Yorkie talk.. I have 3 little Yorkies, Molly 3, Mannie 7mos and New arrival as of yesterday, Naevia 4mos. Mannie has always ate his own poop, YUCKY!! Vet gave me something for it, can't remember. It worked great at first, but he was right back at it. I try and get it up right after he goes, but he is so quick sometimes. Now he wants to eat Molly's too! Ugh. Hope you all can help me.

My Molly use to do that then she just stopped one day. I think it was because she was bored. Sorry I can't offer any help.

try feeding him a piece of pineapple every day. it's supposed to make it taste bad... or worse I guess lol

I also heard pineapple. Up to three pieces of Pineapple chunks a day. Mine never ate his poop, but I do it as a preventative. He loves it and thinks it's a special snack.

I get the natural ones in the can with no additives. The ingredients are Pineapple and Pineapple juice, that's it. I mix it with organic, vanilla flavored greek yogurt.

Thanks for the idea. I will try anything. I will let ya know how it works out. Have to be a few days as I fell and badly sprained ankle, so not gonna hobble out too soon. Me and crutches are dangerous. I appreciate the feed back and def. gonna get him some pineapple and try it.

Any time hope it helps.

My little girl was like that for the first six months. Gave frozen pineapple chunks cut up three times a day. It finally worked!
Good luck!

Mickey used to do this until I started feeding Canine Caviar. Not sure what herb is in it that doesn't taste good "the second time" but... ewwww.
Glad he stopped.
