Our basset hound has a nasty habit of eating poop. (Coprophagia) We tried every supplement and home remedy out there - you know what, she just likes to eat poop.In her older years (>11), she developed a susceptibility to bloating, which we've finally narrowed down to her eating poop. Obviously, our lifes have changed in our attempts to prevent her from eating poop. But she does manage to sneak it sometimes. What I think is that the bacteria lays in wait in her belly all day, then when it comes to feeding time, it feasts on the dog food as it enters her stomach. Within a few hours, she bloats - severe. We almost lost her the first time, but thanks to an amazing vet, have been able to get her in at all times in the night and he's ported her or tubed her to get the air out. Her stomach's never twisted, just bloated. Exploratory surgery did not show anything either.What we (the vet) came across is that toxiban suspension as a remedy coats and stops the gas buildup from reforming after she's been deflated. At home, we found that it works to subside the gas from building as well. (knock on wood it continues to work as an antidote).We give Bessie Lou ~30ml when needed (65 lbs). She likes the taste, but then again she also loves the taste of poop, so your dog may be different. The orange label differs from the blue in that sorbitol in the orange helps to loosen the stool. Either way, stool will be black because of the charcoal.I've gone through a few bottles of the stuff (she's tenaciously sneaky) in the last 8 months. If you are a dog owner, this should be a part of your emergency kit. (not for just poop eating, it is a remedy for poisoning)
