<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi all you Droolers:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>This is my first time posting to the DD - but
having lurked for a few weeks now, I need some help with our latest basset
puppy.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Lucie is our 4th basset, but our first female - not
that her gender makes any difference in this case. She is 5 months
old.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>She engages in coprophagia - that is, she eats her
own poop and has done so on & off since we got her at 12 weeks. The
vet gave us 6 days worth of "Forbid" which was only 1/2 successful. We've
been diligent about watching her when she's out in the yard, and pick up her
poop right away. Sometimes she's good about leaving it - has a sniff and
then walks away. A couple of times, we've even gone out and found a little
pile just left on the ground.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Other times - she eats it up right away.
She was getting Kirkland Puppy Food and then I changed to Innova - but she got
very loose stool, which she still ate. Took Lucie to the vet who suggested
Medi-Cal Gastro Food and she's got regular stool now, but still eats
it.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>We will try pineapple. Does anyone else have
any ideas?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thanks.</FONT></DIV>
