I just got back from taking our puppy to the vet. She too has developed a taste for poop. *gags*
Anyway, my vet said that she's eating her poop because we are feeding her too much at one time, and her little body can't digest that much food at one time, and she poops it out only paritally digested. So, what she poops out isn't tasting a whole lot different than what she's eating from her bowl. He said to feed her less food, more frequently. Example: Instead of 2 heaping tablespoons of food twice a day, break it down to 1 tablespoon four times a day.
Makes sense, so we're going to give it a shot.
She got shots tonight and she's sore. Poor baby.
