Question

Help answer this question below.

My 5 month old pit bull has been throwing up a thick brown substance that smells like doody. Today is the first day of this. I take her to the vet for every little thing, and want to make sure this is not a simple problem before taking her in.

    You need to take your dog to the vet YESTERDAY! My wife is a Vet's assistant. Your dog may have a blockage in the intestines and if so, could die! Go now!

    There is also a good chance your pup may have developed a fondness for Coprophagia...also known as POOP EATING.

    How's that house training coming along? Did you have a few challenges...how was the house training handled? If there was a fair amount of anger or yelling or chastisement...she may have accidentally learned to eat her poop...to avoid a scary (to her) situation!

    By all means...do call your vet..ALWAYS better safe than sorry!!

    Also be aware...MANY, MANY PUPPIES DO go through a stage of eating their poop...less than positive house training can CONTRIBUTE to this problem, but even puppies trained 100% +R (positive reinforcement) CAN go though a stage of mouthing or eating feces!

    Here are some links to check out...but also give your Vet a call, reduce your worry!
