Coprophagia?
My 17 month old dog is a
shelter rescue and has finally
settled in. I thought that I'd
weaned her from her habit of
coprophagia, but no, I was
wrong. She continues to eat
both her stool and that from
my other dog. I'm using
for-bid with both dogs and
have been for about a month. I
keep everything cleaned up and
disposed of. I would really
like it if I wouldn't have to
stand guard over the dogs when
they go to the bathroom,
especially during the winter
or in the rain. Their dog food
is high quality. TIA!

Good luck with this one. Some dogs just never stop, do they? Perhaps in time she will get better, but until then I am afraid you will need to supervise and clean up immediately (and continue to use the for-bid or ask your vet if there is something better). Some times switching foods (brands) actually helps (there are many good quality foods). |

Is there a I can agree that homosexuality
exists as nature's population
control, and I accept that
certain mammals display
bisexual tendencies. But
what's the sense in eating
poop? I mean, I've seen
puppies do it when there's
undigested stuff in it. Why do
some humans do it?

From the medical literature, coprophagia has been observed in a small number of patients with dementia and/or schizophrenia[1] and depression. [1] Effective treatment of coprophagia in a patient with schizophrenia with the novel atypical antipsychotic drug perospirone [2] Escalation of a fetish: coprophagia in a nonpsychotic adult of normal intelligence See also: Paraphilia (in Greek para παρά = besides and -philia φιλία = love)—in psychology and sexology, is a term that describes a family of persistent, intense fantasies, aberrant urges, or behaviors involving sexual arousal to nonhuman objects, pain or humiliation experienced by oneself or one's partner, children, or nonconsenting individuals or unsuitable partners. Paraphilias may interfere with the capacity for reciprocal affectionate sexual activity. [1] Paraphilia is also used to imply non-mainstream sexual practices without necessarily implying dysfunction or deviance; see Clinical warnings section. Also, it may describe sexual feelings toward otherwise non-sexual objects. |

COPROPHAGIA (eating feces)- I've researched all the
remedies, but haven't found
many reviews. If you have
treated you're dog for this
problem & KNOW 1ST HAND what
actually did or didn't work,
let me know. I'm interested in
hearing how pumpkin,
pinnapple, meat tenderizer,
Deter,or For-Bid worked. I
won't try putting hot sauce or
anything like it on her feces.
If I had the time to do that,
I would just pick up. She eats
it way too fast for me to
catch her every time. I don't
want to sound rude but, I
don't want to hear how she
might have a lack of nutrients
- b/c she doesn't. She is fed
very high quaility
nutritiously balanced food.
She doesn't have behavior
problems - she gets plenty of
exercise & play time, she's
not bored. We keep the yard
clean, it's not like she has
the option to have a BM buffet
when we let her out. I've done
my research & found why they
do this is very natural. Sorry
to sound rude, I just would
like actual answers. No common
sense, sarcastic or
judgemental answers like I see
so often here.
Thanks for the answers so far,
this is exactly what I'm
looking for.
Can anyone tell me how much
pinnapple and/or pumpkin to
add to the food?

I used both the meat tenderizer and pineapple on my boy Kaiser's food when he was a pup. I actually think the pineapple worked better than the meat tenderizer. I will tell you that it is totally normal for pups to do this. Even some of my adults will do this, but only when we go up to clean up after them. My girl Sushi will go and run to grab a pie when she sees up coming out to clean it up. It has gotten to be like a game with her now doing this. |
