Okay, I admit it. Grissom eats poop. :frown: Not just a little, and not just every now and then. He eats as much as he can, whenever he can.
Never his own, always Champ's. It's never mattered what I feed them, be it kibble, raw, a combination of both. He's never been negatively punnished during potty training, and yes, I stop him if I catch him, but reality is I can't sit outside all day and all night. If Champ poops, Grissom is on it in about two seconds. We keep it cleaned up the best we can, and for a long time he just didn't have the opportunity to get to it, therefore problem solved. Well....We live on the edge of a huge hill, and since January, the poo gets thrown far over the edge of the hill. Grissom has learned to dig under the fence and go down the hill to get to it recently, therefore making the problem bigger than ever.
I'm not all that concerned about him getting anything from it, as I know Champ doesn't have anything to pass on, what I'm concerned about is when he does it, it gives him BAD diarrea, and I have to leave him out at night or he'll poo everywhere. This is not going to be an option come winter when it's cold outside. I've got to break this habit before it's too cold to sleep outside, or my garage is going to be one big poopy mess. :frown:
I don't like to give supplements. I don't feel like they work, but I have resorted to reading reviews on coprophagia deterrent tablets, and unless anyone has a better idea, that's the route I will have to try next. most of them are designed to stop a dog from eating their OWN poop, which Griss never ever does. He eats Champ's. Would I give the pills then to Grissom, or to Champ?
