More Crap Eating


I was walking Mini and Shoebee when Shoebee squatted to pooh.  Because of his food (ZD Ultra) his poo is often soft.  The pooh came out of his butt in one long soft string, like brown toothpaste being squeezed from the tube.  As he squatted, Mini came over and started sniffing his anus.  After telling her that her behavior was disgusting, she took a bite out of the pooh!

I did a little research and found a suggestion to cure her of this behavior – feed her pineapple.   I’m trying that now, so stay tuned to find out the results.  I also spoke to the vet who performed her last surgery (more on that perhaps in a later post).   He informed me that the clinical name for pooeating is coprophagy.  His advice was to put a little MSG on her food.  So far, the pineapple seems to be working.  Or else she is pooing so much that she can’t keep up with it all.
