Yorkie Eating Fresh Poop

Question

I have a yorkie and she is 5 years old about a year ago out of the blue she started eating her own poop and only when fresh. Why and how do I get her to stop. Her breath is horrible! Please help!

Also she is always throwing up? What do I do?

Thanks,
Terri

Answer

I am so sorry about the problems that you are having with your little Yorkie. Poop eating can be a very frustrating problem. You should definately pick up the stools as soon as she produces them. If this does not stop the vomiting you should take her to your veterinarian as this can be a sign 
of something serious.



Good luck to you!
