Question:

: my jack russell eats horse manure in the paddock. is this the same as stool eating because she doen't eat her own.


Response:

kirrily, Many JR's find horse, goat, cow, chicken, and especially cat droppings interesting and tasty. We humans find it disgusting, but evidently the dogs don't have any hang-ups about it. Teach your dog to "drop it" on command. She ought not be eating this stuff - for aesthetic reasons, as well as because there could be medications and worm ova in the manure. She might sneak a bite now and then, but do your best to prevent it. C.P.
