How much Deter? - YorkieTalk.com Forums

The Quick Spoon · 08-21-2005, 10:13 PM

This is my first post....although I have found tons of the information very useful as my wife and I explored preparing for our yorkie and little things we have encountered along the way.
We feel very fortunate with our little Ender....he is only about 3.5 mos old...almost 2 lbs...huge!

, endured a move after the first to come home with us....and is practically paper trained already. He doesn't nip or bark all that much at all, just to play...and seems to be in very good health...we feel very blessed.
However, he does eat his feces at times...he has always seemed interested in it, sniffing it and whatnot. But recently started to eat it even more. We bought some deter on the recommendation of a friend and the box says "one tablet for every 10 lbs." so do I give him the entire tablet? We have been giving him only a part (a small one) and it seems to have little effect. Any recommendations?

im not sure about that product but i ahve also heard that pineapple deters them from eating their feces. just make sure it is crushed or cut up very small to be sure he doesnt choke on it.

I give my girls a quarter to a half depending on how bad they are doing it...if you stick with it for two weeks like it says it really works...my girls no longer eat or even mess with their poop!!
