Guest Anonymous Posted November 4, 2002 Posted November 4, 2002 my 9 week old puppy has started eating her own poo. During the day we stop her but at night sometimes we dont hear her and we know she does it because she leaves evidence on the paper. Please help. :( Thank you. Quote
Guest Anonymous Posted November 5, 2002 Posted November 5, 2002 As Mei-Mei said, it's actually pretty common. I had a puppy once that eventually outgrew the habbit. Mother dogs lick the puppies clean to keep the den unsoiled, so puppies actually have the behavior modeled for them. The worst harm I've heard of it doing is spreading or perpetuation worms. As long as your puppy has been wormed it will probably be OK. The pill makes their feces taste bad to them, but doesn't always work. I'm not the expert here, I've just had to deal with it before, too. Any one else have some info or advice? Quote
