Guest mpportraits Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 Ok, does anyone else's grey do this? I almost dry heaved when I saw her doing it. She took a poop, then turned around, sniffed it and ate it! UGGGGGGGGGGGGGG :puke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFullHouse Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 Yep, it's common in dogs especially if there are no other dogs poop around to eat.

TheFullHouse Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 I have to agree. I have 3 that will eat poop so I put stool guards in their muzzles to keep them from eating it. I've had a couple get really sick from eating it also. Not a nice thing.

buddibear Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 Stormy wears a muzzle on walks because he nips people if they get close to his pack . Never ate dog poop, but he smashed his muzzle in the dirt to get cat poop. Had to bleech it for awhile!

IndyandHollyluv Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 Welcome to my world. I have one boy who likes his "hot out of the oven" and a girl who prefers the chilled variety -- but both will gladly partake of whatever they can find in the yard. Did someone mention bunny poo?? I used to get enraged (aka poo rage) when I saw them honking turds out in the yard (I do muzzle and stool cup but not all the time) -- but now I figure that's one less pile I have to pick up (just kiddin').

TheFullHouse Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 Here is a picture of Sammie with his muzzle and you can see the white stool guard in it. You just slide it inside the muzzle and attach it. It prevents them from eating poop and anything else nasty that might be outside.

Guest manawatugal Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 My new boy of 5 weeks ate a cat poo outside on the grass verge last week. It was pretty gross and I had to look twice to believe it, even though I have known of dogs that do this. Once on a walk with my kids when they were younger we saw a dog eat a horse poo which really grossed them out, and I always wondered whether eating the poo of a vegetarian animal means they are lacking something in their diet! I mean what about 'pica' when you eat strange things whilst pregnant (humans I mean) ie eating coal or wanting to lick the dirt of potatoes.

I just about peed myself laughing at that! When I adopted Simon, I was told that he was a "feaster of poop." Fortunately, he seemed to have outgrown it!

Guest issy Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 ...ok, so my adoption rep told me about how she had a sweet little fawn girl in a parade...and someone had the grand idea of making the greyhounds walk BEHIND THE HORSES. apparently it was horrifying and hilarious and a big pain, and I about died laughing when she told me. Enzo doesn't have the chance really to eat other doggy-poos, but he sure is into deer turds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shawna Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 And what's really gross is when Mojo eats horse poop and sends it through the system...love that, really! My guys are getting new muzzles and stool guards here in the next week or so. Even the stinking shepherd.

montgomery2524 Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 I have read that the digestion track of dogs is so quick that the poop still has lots of nutritional value in it. So they may be getting something out of it. It is yucky and there are lots of things that are supposed to stop them from doing it. But the one thing that will stop it is to pick it up as they go. We have a 15 year old that eats poop. DH says she has made it to 15 so she can eat what she wants. But we do try to prevent her from doing it.

lotsoffreetime Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 Rio seems to choke when we put her muzzle guard on her??? Her muzzle guard doesn't attach like the one pictured above, it just sits inside her muzzle at the end, but it is snug and does not move around at all, and it has "breathing holes" in it. She can be a bit of a drama queen, though, so we are not sure if she is just acting up in protest or really choking....thoughts?

Guest mpportraits Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 If you guys can imagine...i am making those heaving sounds as I read in between laughs that I'm not the only one who has had to witness such a horrific, unsanitary, stomach lurching scene. I will try the muzzle as soon as I can run out in the morning to grab one. Thank you for sharing your stories! I don't feel like the only one with a gorgeous grey girl who has a poo eating secret...oh and she is TOTALLY into critter crunchies...if we leave the mud room door open, she runs around with a dookie cigar.

Try and loosen the muzzle a bit so that her nose isn't touching the stool guard. I always loosen my muzzles a bit once I put the stool guard in place so they feel they have room to breathe. That may be her issue. The holes are basically there so she can still drink water in it. You can also attach the cup to her muzzle through the two holes in the middle so it doesn't slide around. I use tiny zip ties to attach mine.

phall Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 Yeah - I have a poop eater too. I have a muzzle that his mostly solid but with round holes in the sides to let in air (can't remember the name of it, but I really like it). However, my girl is so dedicated to her poop eating that she has learned if she turns her head to the side and squashes it down on a pile of poop, it will mush into her muzzle and she can eat it. YUCK! So I now put duct tape on the lower part of the muzzles.....sigh... Pat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
