94retta(219) Posted January 23, 2011 Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 Its not worms. Worms clamp down on the dogs insides. My mom has been a vet for some 35 years and when i was little we had 13 huskys cuz my mom ran them and bread them. The dogs fine. Its just how puppies are. My rott is a year and 6months and she will eat everything then keep looking to see if theres more. As for the eating shit... Thats just weird but the only way you can stop that is keeping it picked up. Truthfully you dont need to feed the dog 3 times a day. But if thats how you wana do it its fine. I sugest feeding the dog 2 times and giving it a bone 3x the size of it. Quote BUILD LOG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrSkippyJ Posted January 23, 2011 Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 LOL I cant believe I'am posting this, but it may beat paying for a trainer My step daughter bought a mail order puppy yorkie/shitzu something like that. This dog will NOT stop eating, all day long. I take the food away, and he goes outside to shit, then eats that, wtf? like all dogs/puppies, he will eat anything on the ground So we keep everything off the ground, I try and keep him fed appropriately 3 meals a day doesn't cut it 4 meals a day doesn't cut it 6 meals a day doesn't cut it He is about 6lbs or so, but I think he could eat about half his body weight through out a day He doesn't mind his food, he eats it, and he eats our adult dogs food I'am assuming I should be in the back yard looking for throw up maybe? I guess I can do that in the morning Pup is about 5 - 6 months old, at peak size. Supposed to be a teacup, but a little larger any training advice will help All dogs will eat like that. Keep a regular feeding habit and give the puppy tons of stuff to chew on. Stuff like bones and raw hides that last for a while. The shit eating thing is probably from being in a puppy mill, where regular feeding didn't happen. Dog had to eat what it could and shit was it. My puppy was a puppy mill dog as well and did the same thing. She still does it from time to time. I have read some things about changing that, like putting hot sauce in the dogs turds and some other stuff I don't remember. I never worried about it and now it isn't much of a problem.

LT.Smoke Posted January 23, 2011 Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 The only thing you need to watch out for Foreverbumpn is with the dog eating that much all the time it can cause Bloat...If you start to notice the dog's belly getting unusually large and the dogs temperament changing then go get it checked out right away...Bloat can kill the puppy quickly but other than that just give the dog smaller portions more frequently if you have to that way it doesnt over eat but it will allow the dog's metabolism to stay burning Quote Team MaxRetribution Si Vis Pacem Parabellum Id rather be judged by 12 than carried by 6 Bowhunting- Life Begins and Ends at Full Draw Bowhunting Team Fatal Trajectory Hunt Team http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/49335-sick96vtecaccords-t-line-build/?hl=sick96vtecaccord << Accord Build http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/68498-smokedout08impalas-tline-build/?hl=+sick96vtecaccord << Impala T-line build Rebassed.com for all your music needs 👌 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melissa Posted January 23, 2011 Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 Ken, I found this online http://www.paw-rescue.org/PAW/PETTIPS/DogTip_PoopEating.php...but I also suggest a trip to the vet. We too have a puppy, he is 4 1/2 months old and have found that 3 meals a day is a good idea for his age. We feed a holistic puppy food and split the recommended amount into the 3 feedings. You don't want to overfeed a puppy because growing too fast can cause problems down the road. Since you said the puppy just started acting this way recently I would definitely say something is wrong. Has it been to the vet for all of it's vaccinations? If you are established with a vet you may be able to take in a stool sample and have them take a look at that without having to pay for an appointment. I also would say don't give rawhide or pig ears, they are not easily digestible. When we need to keep our puppy "busy" we use Bully sticks, they are easier for them to digest...and lots of chew toys. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benji0687 Posted January 23, 2011 Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 I would definitely take the puppy to the vet. I just had my friend look at your post (shes a vet tech) and she thinks theres something wrong with the puppy (most likely a nutritional deficiency or a type of worms).

huh?do-what? Posted January 24, 2011 Report Share Posted January 24, 2011 Sounds like somebody needs to call the Dog Whisperer! But I know the compulsive eating and then crapping it out and eating its crap is due to the dog being raised via a puppy mill, and most likely taken away from its mother too early. Its just found out it could eat its own shit last week, we had it here for 4 months already i hope you dont let that dog lick your face.lol Quote God damn its hot today. My balls are stuck to my leg.

David711 Posted January 24, 2011 Report Share Posted January 24, 2011 If you want the dog to stop eating its shit give it some pinnapple to eat and it won't eat the shit.. dnt ask how I know I just do lol Quote "WHOEVER SAID MONEY CAN'T BUY HAPPINESS MUST OF BEEN BROKE" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forevrbumpn Posted January 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2011 pineapple huh? lol Quote I have a ritual called "terminator". I crouch in the shower in the "naked terminator" pose. With eyes closed I crouch for a minute and visualize either Arnie or the guy from the 2nd movie. I then start to hum the T2 theme. Slowly I rise to a standing position and open my eyes. It helps me get through my day. The only problem is if the shower curtain sticks to my terminator leg. It sorta ruins the fantasy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superjay Posted January 24, 2011 Report Share Posted January 24, 2011 it's called Pica...and it's a psychological disorder...wait for it to start eating random things like coins, grass, pins, pens, anythig and everything...be careful what you leave around Quote Principal JTech Consulting - Leader in 12-Volt Training and Product PlanningIt's not about how much power you have, but how well you use it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
