I don't think anything to do with my pups grosses me out anymore. At our house, we call those "danglies." Most of my dogs act like they are going to die if they have one and one will just freeze and not move. Usually they will come off with a tissue, etc.

The first time Magnus was sick, I stayed up with him all night. Around 2 am, he got up and off the couch and started walking around a bit very slowly. Then he went to the closest pad and BAM! MASSIVE diarrhea. The odor was just so horrible I had to hold my breath why getting rid of the pad. LOL Afterwards, I thanked Magnus for going on the pad. It would have been absolutely horrid trying to clean that up if he went on the carpet...

And I still remember the odor from when he pooped on me. -_- The smell of ammonia was making my eyes water. ROFL

Before I had Max, I was very squeamish. That all went out the window the day I brought him home.

ain't that the truth, with Lola it only happens once in while but she is so indignant and upset about it you can tell from a mile a way that she has a dingleberry stuck, so momma has to pick her up sort of backwards and to the laundry sink we go, I just let warm water run over that area till everything comes off, sometimes I need to take a little scissor to it.

Just wait till you are running late and dressed up nice and your pup does a half in half out poop that is stuck. Now you are left to figure out how to get it out, LOL that should be on that TV show dirty jobs.

LOL just saw this after I posted, that's what we call them to. Dingleberries just come with the territory of owning a dog, I am assuming other breeds have them to, can you imagine dealing with this on say a big Irish setter or a sheep dog, OH my that would be a chore

LOL, dirty jobs! Max is like Lola. He is a very proud dog and rarely has a problem, but when he does, he is horrified. Teddy is the baby and comes to me with the saddest face.

They are so cute, I can't be grossed out by anything.

Thanks for the warnings! I guess my "gross" scale is going to be on a curve from now on! LOL! Not looking forward to diarrhea all over me--hope that one never happens! I'll be keeping her hair trimmed from now on, and will make butt inspection a daily habit!

I saw dingleberries on a sheepdog. Well... it was more like a dinglebush on him since his coat was kept uncut for showing purpose. I felt sorry for the lady that had to clean him up. LOL

Haha! Hopefully you will never have the diarrhea test of your love.

A larger dog would test my gross-out scale. Glad we never had any problems with our 85 pound Airedale.

Some little hints will help a lot. Get a helper and do this on a counter in a well lighted area. Cover the counter in news paper. Use gloves if you are ucked out. Buy blunt round tipped scissors, a medium fine comb and some coconut oil. Slide the comb between the poop ball and the skin. Cut against the comb. When the poop ball is gone, rub a tiny amount of coconut oil on the potty area, comb the hair away from the anus, about the size of a ping pong ball area. Cut the hair with little the small safety scissors. (Later if you do use clippers or an eyebrow trimmer, be sure to shave away from the anus, going over the anus can cut the delicate tissue !) After Your baby potties use a baby wet wipe on her bottom. It is ok to use a quick light swipe of the coconut oil to keep poo from sticking. Hope This Helps.

Wylie's Mom · 08-16-2013, 08:06 AM

Do you mean it's getting stuck in her fur / bc of her fur in the area? Or, are you saying she can't get it pushed out fully, so that it's getting stuck in the rectum? If it's getting stuck in the rectum, I'd probably want a vet to take a look and/or maybe have her anal glands checked.

CountryHope · 08-21-2013, 04:26 PM

You all are a great resource! And to Wylie's mom, it is poop stuck in the fur. I gave her a real good trim, and things have been good since then, but I'm definitely keeping a closer eye on it!

chester needs some extra fiber at least 4% in his food, and keep her hiney trimmed and the wipes as well
