Guest SLM4956 Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 Okay ....I guess it is a little wierd that I am looking at my dog's Poo!?!?! I even put some in my pocket to take to the vet!! OMG! I did wait to make sure that no one was looking before I stuck the poo bag in my pocket I am not sure how to describe it...it looks like a Lima Bean...only we don't eat Lima Beans here!! I am a bit worried as Marigot's Poos are never very firm or good in color. She eats Natural Balance Ultra and I dont add too much to it other than some Ham or Parmesan Cheese. In the morning she gets a V8. I am taking the kitties to the Vet on Monday and thought it might not be a bad idea to take the nice Vet a hefty bag of Poo!! Anyone else have some green thingys in their Poo?!?!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbhounds Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 Sure it's something she ate--does she really get a V8?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest SLM4956 Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 Thanks for the replies!! I thought about the grass, but it is not grass. I felt it through the baggie and it is hard. I may just be paranoid, but she seems to be drooling more than normal in her sleep and licking her lips a lot!! We are going to take some of this miraculous Poo to the Vet and I will ask about her drooling and licking her lips...I am just so attached to her already!! I hate to think that something is wrong with her Sure it's something she ate--does she really get a V8?? She loves them! And it makes her slow down on her kibble, which is nice.

Guest ArtysPeople Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 (edited) I'm with tbhounds -- I'm sure it's something she ate, and I'm of the (thoroughly un-professional) opinion that if it made it all the way through her system without making her sick, there's no need to go to the vet, unless she's displaying other symptoms. I'd watch for the usual suspects for a few days: vomiting, serious diarrhea, lack of appetite, straining to defecate, fever, excessive thirst, etc. As for what it might be, have you read any of the threads about the wacky things peoples' dogs have eaten? Seriously, some hounds will eat just about anything they can fit in their mouths (and then some). I know someone whose hound recently ate thread bobbins. Look around your house and ask yourself what you normally have out that is about the same color as what she pooped. Crayons? Office supplies? Barrettes? Also, look around your yard and where you take her for a walk; are there any trees with bean pods or similar "ornamental" fruit? You could always, well, dig it out of the poop yourself, rinse it off, and see if you can figure it out by looking closer, too. It'd probably be worthwhile to figure out what it is, just in case it's something she might have regular access to (so you can make sure she doesn't have regular access to it).

Guest SLM4956 Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 I know! GROSS!! I did look at it....because inquiring minds want to know! I am just concerned because of her lip licking and drooling. That stuff is new!! She does seem a little sleepier than normal. We are going to the Vet anyhow for the kitties, I may as well just bug him because I won't feel good unless I know there is nothing wrong BTW, I love you guys on GT!! I always get the best advice and know that someone will come up with a solution!! Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Remolacha Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 can't wait to hear the vet's report! because inquiring minds DO want to know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverfish Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 I'm guessing it's something she ate, too. If I were you, I'd look around your house and yard to see if you can figure out what she could have eaten. If it's from a plant, you may need to identify it to check if it's toxic. That might explain the lip licking and drooling, if she's eaten something irritant. Good luck - and let us know what the vet says!

DaisyDoodle Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 Could it be edamami (sp?)? Have you eaten it lately and left your bowl unattended? If so, it's soy, and may not agree with her system. FWIW, DD PS Have you, or the adoption kennel, if you just got her, given her Greenies? It's a hard, but edible dog chew. These also disagree with some dogs.

These also disagree with some dogs. Good idea. I gave our "kids" greenies one time and found hard little slippery things in their poo. They also had upset tummies. Then I started reading all kinds of negative info about greenies so they never got them again. They really aren't very digestible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest LindsaySF Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 I think it is something she ate. Check the house and yard for similarly colored objects. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest longdogs Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 Almost certainly something she ate. Maybe I'm odd, but if I were concerned I'd just don my rubber gloves, clean the thing off in a bucket of water and take a good look at it. Parasites aren't hard and green, nor is much that could naturally be inside your dog. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NeylasMom Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 Sounds like greenies poop to me.

Guest SLM4956 Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 You guys crack me up!! We do feed the Booda Bones, but not Greenies. Some of the Boodas are green in color...like Spearmint or something....maybe that is it We did go to the Vet and she does in fact have Parasites in her Poo. We were given Metronidazole for the little critters and hopefully our Poo should actually start looking like everyone else's!! We are so excited!! See we never had good Poo to beign with. It isalways off color and not very firm. As for the drooling and lip licking....We need to see a Veternary Dentist!! Marigot's teeth show lack of enamel and erosion and the Vet believes that they are causing her to have excess drool!! Oh my baby girl! She is something else! Maybe I can get her some nice Gold crowns or something!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
