What happens if a dog eats a lot of poop?

A dog that eats a lot of poop easily gets bacterial and parasitic infections, showing vomiting, diarrhea, loss of appetite, lethargy, weight loss, and rough dull coat. If it eats poop carrying canine distemper or parvovirus, it may catch a viral infectious disease that threatens its life.

Therefore, when the owner sees the dog eating poop, stop the behavior promptly, and feed on a fixed schedule normally to avoid random eating from extreme hunger. In addition, a lack of trace elements in the body can also make a dog eat poop, so feed nutritionally balanced food normally.
