Help!! Mommy eating puppy poop!! My female Yorkie,Madison had a puppy a month ago, I notice she eats her puppy's poop right after she goes, I try to clean up the poop but Madison eats it too fast. I was wondering how long this behavior will last, being I was considering keeping her puppy. And what can i do to help stop this? Fyi Madsion has never ate poop before. |
She's being a good mommy. Females will diaper their pups and clean up the waste. Leftover instinct from the wild where females have to clean up after their young to prevent predators from finding them. |

It makes sense though :D So yeah I dont think you should punish her or anything, as long as it isn't harmful she is only doing what is natural instinct to her. |
Agreed, she is just keeping the pups and the whelping area clean. She will do that until they are weaned and eat just their puppy food. |
