My dog just ate his own poop.

Recommended Posts

yay for recycling!

 

 

It's true. I thought he had a dead bird. Then I thought it was a rotting stick. When I realized it was poop I said NO! He then proceeded to bite down on it followed by a swallow.

 

:o

 

Crazy dog.

 

:thumbsup: :mad:

 

Do you ever let him lick your face?

 

Yeah. Not anymore! No wonder his breathe smelled.

 

 

:doh:

One of my cats puked yesterday. While I was getting a paper towel to clean it up, the other one started eating it. :rolleyes:

I can never understand how people can let dogs lick their faces, when they have been licking everywhere else on their bodies their entire life.

Disgusting.

And drinking out of the toilet. Remember all those nasty booze and chicken wings sh|ts you've had in that toilet? The dog was drinking the water later.

The toilet is one of the most germ-free places in the home.

Assuming it's cleaned regularly? And while they may be less contaminated than your average keyboard, there ain't no way I'm drinking out of the toilet. Or eating off my keyboard.

It doesn't take much cleaning.

 

It's the cold that does it. Walls, kitchen counters, and any number of other places are much more hospitable places for germs.

 

You poop germs into a toilet, nearly all of them get flushed. The ones that stay behind don't survive long.

Molly thinks Charlie is actually a food factory. Everytime he takes a dump, she is sitting there waiting to gobble it up.

Then why do toilet handles and kitchen counters harbor tons of germs. It's not the cold so much as a moist environment. Sorry, you can't convince me it's okay to drink outa the toilet, or that it's okay for a dog to lick my face after drinking out of one.

Toilet handles, no. Smooth, nonporous, cold.

 

Kitchen counters are a much better place for germs. No real conductive cooling from the water pipes going on there.

My dog does the same thing. He once belched in my face after a "meal" and I swear I almost passed out from the smell.

 

Here's a solution, though: sprinkle Accent on his dog food. It's a seasoning that comes in a red and white package. According to his vet, the Accent gives his sh!t an unpleasant taste (as if sh!t doesn't already have an unpleasant taste; go figure). Give it a try, though. That should slow his appetite for the boo-boo.

Better re-read about where germs can be

 

Men's rooms, too. "Usually the dirtiest handles in public restrooms are urinal flush handles," he said. rink

Why wouldn't this make his food unpleasant :thumbsup:

We were. You said they are smooth, non-porous and cold so they harbor no germs. Quite the opposite.

Link to where I said they 'harbor no germs'.

 

When talking about toilet flush handles, I said they are smooth and non-porous.

 

A 747 is also smooth and non-porous. I didn't mean to make a blanket statement about all smooth, non-porous objects. We were discussing toilet flush handles.

 

Urinal flush handles are different because:

 

Urinals are normally only located in places where many people use them, e.g. restaurants, bars, etc. Few people have a urinal in the home.

 

As such, urinals get used with extreme frequency with little time in between flushes.

 

Recall my original statement:

 

The toilet is one of the most germ-free places in the home.

It's been said that dogs have less germs in their mouths than humans do.

People also don't wipe their ass and then touch a 747. Smooth non-porous and cold surfaces can harbor germs just like anywhere else. Maybe not as much, but still germs enough to make you sick sometimes.

If you want to give your pooch a kiss, it may be safer than kissing another human.

 

 

Becker says many of the bacteria in the mouth of a dog are species specific, so it won't harm its owner.

 

"So a staph or a strep for a human is not transmissible to a dog, if you were to kiss it, and vice versa," said Becker.

 

Bottom line — you're more likely to get a serious illness from kissing a person than kissing a dog.

From a vet who didn't really do any study, more like his schooled opinion. I'd like someone to do a study right after the dogs eat their own poop, and see how clean it is then.

 

But since dogs do transmit some germs, Becker has some advice: "Keep the vaccines current. Good external parasite control, good internal parasite control. You're going to be good to go."

 

I wonder how many people actually keep up with that?

We get a note from the vet whenever one of our animules is due for a shot. <_<

 

The flea and tick stuff we skimp on a little, just using it seasonally.

It's called Coprophalgia and lots of dogs do it. There's a lot of possible reasons,

  • A female dog may eat her puppy's feces to help conceal their presence, hiding them from predators and other threats.
    A puppy imitating his mother may pick up the habit.
    The dog may be trying to get the owner's attention.
    She may be imitating the owner after observing them pick up feces.
    She may be suffering from stress and/or anxiety.
    Recent changes in her daily routines that effect her diet.
    She may be suffering from a B-Vitamin deficiency.
    She may be suffering from disorders of the pancreas or intestine.

My vet thinks it's most likely a vitamin deficiency, or that the dog is just really gross.

 

This stuff, Deter Coprophalgia Treatment works great. It's inexpensive, my dog ate it like it was a treat, and apparently it makes their shiot taste worse than shiot!
