In the last week Wrinkles has begun to eat her poop. I caught on right away, and scooped behind her to limit her snacking. Now she scours the yard in search of her poop. She ignored Winston and Cleveland's poop.
What is going on with my poor girl?
First barking for no reason. Which still is not going well. She barks at the clicker, and no if the house is quiet, she will bark when I move my mouse around on my desk!
When ever she barks, the other two dogs do not even move their heads. They don't perk to attention at all.
She was going to go in this month for a dental cleaning and extraction, but I'm putting it off until she is well out of heat so that she can be fixed at the same time. Most likely first week of Nov.
Unless any of this could be chalked up to a medical issue??

Dharma and Otis both try to eat poop sometimes. Dharma will only try to eat her own, but Otis will hunt the yard for it. That's why we scoop as soon as they poop. Never have been able to link it to anything other than they are both vile and disgusting.

I have some poo eaters both here and at work. Phyl will eat hers if she poops in her crate. Sometimes she leaves just one turd for me to clean out. Some dogs on my route will eat their doggy siblings' poo, too.
Is she turning around and snacking after pooping, or is she eating it if she messes in a crate/room?

She just started this last week. She hasn't ever messed in her crate, and if she had an accident before in the hallway, she always left it for us to clean up. Messes are rare though.
The first time she did this, she had a really bad poop that was from stealing a loaf of rye bread. I had come home from work, set my bags on the counter, let her outside. Let the boys out and came inside to find her trying to get more goods from her pilfered bag.
Her next poo was a huge mess of soft, hard, and diarrhea. Later that day I let her outside, and she went to that pile and started eating it. I had to chase after her to get her back into the house because she kept trying to go back to the pile.
I cleaned up the mess, and went on with life.. until the next poop. I caught on and cleaned up right behind her. She won't snack immediately after pooping, she'll leave that pile alone. I guess it has to cure. *lol* But the next time she is out, she will go to the last spot she pooped and search for it.
I now have to make her stop searching the yard for poop in order to come inside.

IDK but sounds like she liked that rye bread so much that she ate it when it came out and got rewarded again. So now she found out her poop taste good. And now you are stuck cleaning up right away. YUCK it sucks to be you right now.

Keeping my mouth shut from now on! Wrinkles pooped and pee'd in her crate today. First time ever. I don't know if my daughter made she she did her business when she was outside this am. (she has morning Wrinkle duty since she is up at the crack of dawn) Will talk to her when she gets home from work. She did not eat her poop, but she did make a mess out of her just washed pillows and bedding. Could her being in heat make her act like a dumbass? I just don't get how she has been so consistent for so long, and then in a short span of time all these new things come up. Maybe the "honeymoon" was a long one, and it's finally over? Damn dog. I love her. But she is a pain in the butt.  |
