Poop Eaters?

[jrsygal37]

Alright, I have a total of Four Yorkies and one Morkie. NONE but this last little girl ever ate poop. We got our nine week old Yorkie girl this past Friday and for the past two days she has been trying to eat her poop or Tia's poop. Is this normal for a pup to do or I thought I read somewhere that it's caused by something. Thanks. Elaine (mom to Newman, Noel, Bella, Tia and the Holy Terror "Jersey")

Holly used to do it too. This thread was really helpful among others. Do a search and you'll find more

I had a dog that did this all the time. My vet told me to sprinkle meat tenderizer on his food. I did and he never ate poop again!

Bella eats her poop...sometimes while its still coming out EWE! It is so disgusting!!! Anyhow; I have spent over 100 dollars on products in pet stores and the vet's office. Nothing works. They told me the food she eats is too rich and she still asumes it's food. I have tried changing her food that doesnt work either. She has been tested for al sorts of things; nothing wrong. Just a poop eater. I here that they do out grow it sometimes...I hope she outgrows this!

I want to say, I think it was last week I saw Bailey had a dried up piece of poop in his mouth but I quickly told him NO and he dropped it and at other times I find him smelling it or maybe even licking it (sometimes I can't tell) but anyway then I saw that he had threw up so I guess maybe he did eat one but he came back up .......I don't think Bailey is a poop eater though because this is one of the first times I saw him do this, I guess he is just getting bored or curious, one of them LOL

YIP!! I told some folks on another thread that my vet said to sprinkle ACCENT on their food. I did and Cody has never touched it again

Gosh, I can't believe after 2 years I am still posting that I too have 2 Poop Eaters

I have tried EVERYTHING under the sun!
Forbid
Deter
Solid Gold - Stop Eating Poop
Accent
Meat Tenderizer
Spianch
Pineapples
Zucchinni
Alpalpha
Brewers Yeast
Annis Seed
and I am sure many other things that didn't work so I've forgotten about them

The ONLY thing that is working right now is what I am feeding them:
Frozen RAW food (Either Nature's Variety or mOrigins)
Sardines (mixed with probiotics, garlic tabs, fish oil)

Their poop now is appartently so UNAPPEALING. It doen't smell like poop, it has a slight smell of garlic and it is so tiny and it pretty much is coming out dry and flakey and within a few mintues of sitting there the rest of it dries up and is a white dry flakey poop.
They are not completely 'cured' b/c there is still an occasional tasting, but for the most part, finally I think we may be coming to an end.

Also, I do such a POOP PARTY. We dance and sing on our way to flush the poop and then they both get a treat, so this also helps a lot

Wow TLC.............I give you credit, you are like the poop expert w/all the things you have tried. Hats off to you!

[witherig]

i,m sorry i am new at this and clicked on report post ( Sorry )
is that regular meat tenderizer like you cook with?

[TLC]

Yes regular Meat Tenderizer...BUT - if you are going to try it, you might as well just get ACCENT - b/c that's the ingredient in the meat tenderizer they are speaking of (without all the other crap in the meat tenderizer).

i have a wonderful little boy and his name is trip.he was 7 months old when he came to live with us he immediatley started humping the schnauzers so i had him fixed that stoped but ever since then he will start licking himself and his penis will extend all the way out at first i thought it was his intestines or something because it was 2 days after his surgery ..has any one else had this problem? he seems to do it for the heck of it would like to here from other male yorkie owners. he is so funny he seems so proud of his self when he does it.

Thanks, but I wish I weren't...It really sucks But at least it is getting better. Just this January, I was at my wits end. I was so angry, everyday at my 2 b/c this was a daily occurance with the both of them. I couldn't rest, I couldn't take my eyes off of them, but at the same time I couldn't just sit there and wait for them to poop either! That's when I decided to go RAW. Now, they both poop 1x each in the AM and 1x each in the PM - and I am able to get it all and flush it. Someone occaisonaly will poop during the day while I am gone, but when I get home, most of it is there for me to flush, someone or both still taste it, but hopefully not for long

No, never had that problem. Maybe you should check with the Vet to make sure 'it' isn't infected or bothering him in some way???

[sexiixtc]

see now, Kayah doesn't eat her own poop.. oh no!!

She eats other dogs poop!! ahh!

She doesn't do it much anymore.. well hasn't for a little over a month..

But It's hard for me to go outside with her.. It's not like I'm going to run around the whole block looking for doggie poop to sprinkle meat tenderizer on it before I take her out or should I??

Has anyone had this problem?

[LuvMySissy]

We never had this problem till Angel came to live with us. Sissy is right there to start eating Angel's poop (totally disgusting, I know!), then because Sissy is eating it, Angel will also!!!! UGH!!!!!!!!!!!
