Miranda Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 Pet grade chicken mince contains mainly bone, probably 80% or more. This will account for the powdery poo and the straining, your dog is actually eating too much bone. If I were you I'd mix some beef mince in with the chicken or up the meat content of his diet in some other way, this should fix the problem.

WreckitWhippet Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 Don't you just love poo Mine range from plonkers, to circlers, to straight line walk awayers, two who enjoy a poo on the door step ( or as close to as possible ) and I have one poo eater gotta love it we like white poo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I must say that I prefer white poos to sloppy chocolate coloured ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bjelkier Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 Lestat will go in the bushes so no one can see what he is doing, a very modest puppy Mistral dosn't care, he's happy enough to go in the middle of the road, anywhere he feels like really.

calliech Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 My girl does the same. Always has. It's dehydrated poo which is why it's crumbly with no water content. It looks like it's been in the sun for a week but the only way you can tell it's just fresh is a thin layer of mucous covering the poo. Water is reabsorbed in the large colon leading to dehydrated poos. Perhaps she drinks less than the boys but she's also lazier hence crumbly nugget poos. Nelson has normal to runny but he can get nervous at times hence the overstimulated bowel movements. Seamus is just right. Seems I have Goldilocks and the 3 Bears kind of poos in my brood.

Crysti_Lei Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 i think the white poo has to do with the lack of preservatives in a natural diet. preservatives don't break down in the gut, as they are 'peservatives' so they are passed and then preserve the poo for several weeks untill it gradually turns white... the only down side on preservative free poo is whne ppl visit and see white poo in the garden, they think you never pick it up. try as you might to explain that it comes out like that and they look at you like you are making excuses! LOL. i have explained this to my mum manys times.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madredeperros Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 My mum thought the same thing until she actually saw it for herself when Roper pooped dust Roper is the only one who has white poo, although he does not get as many carcasses as the other 4, but the others do have hard chunks so it's all good. Didji used to "scoot" almost constantly when they were on dry but she stopped almost immediately after I started their raw diet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BittyMooPeeb Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 Ah, now we can discuss the fascinating subject of pooing styles. I have a circler, a walker and a backer up into bushes.. :p I have to admit that I have always wondered about my dogs different pooing styles. I have a 'huncher under the bushes', a 'must get it out in under 1.5 seconds, wherever i happen to be standing, then look happy and kick it around all over everyone' pooer, and a 'walker'. The walker is the only tough one - she walks 50 m or so between each poo. So just when I think she has finished, and I use my huge poo bag on her two marble sized nuggets, she goes and does another one! and then another one! I use five poo bags for 100grams of poo :p .

aki Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 What a great topic, besides useful information its also hugely amusing... I have a "do it now and get it over with, forget the circling and walking" and the other who circles endlessly while I am waiting patiently to pick it up, while eyeing me. My boy also loves to poop on Agapanthus plants, fortunately we don't have any, but lots of neighbours do, he seems to smell the plant and circle so the poop lands right in the middle of the plant, making it really difficult to pluck out LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sas Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 If my 20 dogs didnt have white chalky poo I would ALMOST be inclined to go to a VETAny dog that doesnt have this is obviously on a commercial diet!!!!!!!!!!!! EEEEEEEEEEEEEkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk vomit. My dogs are on raw and have brown poo. From time to time when I pick up poo there may be poo that has turned White but not all the time. So yeah....not a commercial diet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
