6greyhounds Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 EZ has been eating his poop and also covering it up. I busted him a couple of times. Cannot give the meat tenderizer as he is on KBr. I was constantly wondering why his nose was dirty or full of snow until I saw him one day covering up his poop. I wonder if that was for future meals Has anyone else had this problem. I have been going out often to clean up but sometimes he gets to it before I do.

Guest hlpnhounds Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 I have 2 regular "snackers" and one occasonal snacker here. 3 of the 4 go outside with muzzles (with poop cups in place) every time they go outside. I clean up the yard at least every 2 days but they still find something to snack on. The muzzles don't keep them from mushing what they find but at least they don't eat it ! One of these is my beagle who we bought a Jack Russel basket muzzle for and then fashioned a poop cup for it made from the bottom of a Solo cup. Looks a bit trashy but it does the trick ! In the past, we've tried For-bid, meat tenderizer, hot sauce (on the poop not in the food) and distraction/correction.....we have found that the muzzles are the simplest and most effective way to prevent the grazing......

Guest Swifthounds Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 Your best bet is probably a kennel muzzle with a "poop cup." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6greyhounds Posted March 24, 2010 Author Share Posted March 24, 2010 I have been using a racing muzzle on him but he can still mash and hide it. Phawn who is a Bridge Angeol used to do the same thing and I did use a poop muzzle on her but somehow she managed to scoop some up in the poop cap. We used everything we could think of and of course ideas off of the forum. Phawn was one gal that when she wanted to eat poop she would find some. BTW I try to go outside with them to grab the poop as much as possible Quote It is better to have loved and lostThan never to have loved at allMissing my Big Blue eyed Bear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6greyhounds Posted March 24, 2010 Author Share Posted March 24, 2010 Oh I forgot to mention this started after KBr was added to what he takes for seizures Quote It is better to have loved and lostThan never to have loved at allMissing my Big Blue eyed Bear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest LindsaySF Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 Both KBr and pheno can make them very hungry. Sophie is a poop eater too, she wears a muzzle with a stool guard in the yard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
