D'Elle Posted November 30, 2018 Report Share Posted November 30, 2018 Can anyone tell me if it is cause for concern if a dog's poop starts having large white areas in it? Food has not been changed, nothing different being fed, dog is acting normal and doesn't have opportunity to pick up anything else to eat....I have not seen this before, and am wondering if I should take to vet or not. Anyone have experience with this? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D'Elle Posted December 1, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2018 Figured it out. The stuffing from a toy bear. I feel dumb, but glad that it's nothing worse. Bear is in the trash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GentleLake Posted December 1, 2018 Report Share Posted December 1, 2018 I was stumped when I first read it yesterday so didn't reply. But this makes perfect sense and having experienced it should've known! One of mine once pooped a longish bright red streak that really scared be till I dissected the stool and found it was a piece of a stuffed toy. We don't have any plush toys here anymore. They all end up ripped to shreds in a matter of minutes and sometimes bits get eaten. FYI: If anyone sees a dog swallowing a wad of something inappropriate like this, a vet told me to scoop 2 fingersful (probably only one for a small dog) of petroleum jelly and smear it on the roof of the dog's mouth for them to swallow. It's indigestible but will melt and lubricate whatever it is to help it pass more easily. Worked like a charm for a foster who swallowed a huge hunk of toy stuffing one time. Glad you were able to figure it out before running to the vet. And especially that it wasn't anything worse and worked itself out without problems.

urge to herd Posted December 1, 2018 Report Share Posted December 1, 2018 Good news! And yes, many of us add daily poop inspection to our dog owner routine. Ruth & Gibbs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What cracks me up is that when I am with a group of my Dog People Tribe it is perfectly normal if we end up talking about poop all through lunch.

I go out w/a group of dog-centric friends from time to time, (only places where we can take our beasties, of course) and we often converse about such intimate and important details whilst having our chopped salads and wine. I have to refrain from doing the same when I'm in a group of civilians. They don't invite me again. Ruth & Gibbs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
