Dog eats poop and made its self poorly

[martinnitram]

Had our 4 month old Lakeland terrier over to the vets this afternoon, he became really poorly an hour after his walk, shaking and lethargic, then throwing st up.

After a quick google I was convinced the dog was going to die from stomach blockage, he has a track record, last week had its stomach pumped after eating a sock, he's eaten most of the Christmas decorations but also won't turn down the chance of a free turd in the hedge bottom.

So thought I'd better get him checked out properly and luckily he threw another sample up in the vets who confirmed he had eaten a good dollop.

Anyway he spent the rest of this afternoon looking like he was at deaths door until an hour ago when he got caught in the bin, so gave him a bit of dinner and seems back to normal now, so we're all relieved.

Maybe this will put him off eating poo, but probably won't,
Don't know what he eat today as I didn't see him do it, but what ever it was made him I'll pretty quickly, apparently this is quite a common occurance.

There's loads of foxes and badgers all round us so I am always carefull with this dog as he'll go to ground given half a chance.
I don't know who's crap he eat this time as I never saw him do it
He' s a proper rascal this one but is a real comedian which just about evens up the naughty behaviour, typical terrier ownership

Some good replys so far, although I don't understand the first one , ??

They do have some disgusting eating habits, had to drag him off some more on his walk tonight.
He knows he shouldn't be doing it but he's a determined little sod.
I like the lampshade suggestion although not really practical when he starts working rat, Ill keep him on his leash when I know where the muck is and let him loose where it's 'safe'.
You can't keep him on a lead all the time as he needs to burn up energy doing what he was bred for.
Although presently his idea of hunting might not be the same as mine.
Got to love em.
