Hi! My 8 months female labrador has a habit of licking or eating fecal matter while out on walks. She has developed many Infections and worms thereafter. What could be the underlying reason for this behaviour and how can it be prevented?

Dr. Tajunnisa M

Coprophagia is one of the most common vices which happens mainly due to nutritional deficiency. Start giving any multivitamin and calcium syrups. You can even include fecal deterrent tablet everyday. Kindly provide a balanced diet. You can refer nutritional chart available in kuddle.

Kindly deworm your pet regularly.
