Rabbit Feces

I recently noticed my dog eating rabbit feces off the ground. What effect could this have on her?

Kim, the consumption of fecal matter can cause bacterial-related gastrointestinal problems, and may also transmit parasites such as worms and certain diseases. Therefore, it is a good idea to discourage your dog from ingesting rabbit feces. To help curb this habit, you may wish to bring your dog outside in the backyard on a leash. There you will have an opportunity to teach her that eating rabbit droppings is a no-no.
