Dog eating own poop
Our dog (6mo Labrador Retriever female) eats her own poop very often. is this normal? I heard that it may be an indication that she is lacking certain nutrients in her diet. We feed her iams puppy food-lamb and rice meal. She also eats the cats poop. She spends days outside in the yard and is inside with us evening and night. She is completely up to date with her shots. She is a normal, healthy, playful dog....we are just concerned about her choice in snacks....poop! Thank you in advance for your help. |

Cat losing hair with itchy skin
About a month ago my female neutered Siamese mix cat lost all the shine in her coat of long hair, and refuses to come into the house, preferring to remain in the garage. She is shedding her hair and it comes out in big clumps. The skin on her back near her tail is flaking off, like large dandruff, and the hairs have tiny black things on them near the base. This area is very itchy and when it is touched, she goes into an involuntary biting spasm. She also has small scabs on her skin spread all over her body. - Click
