I think my dog has developed a new nasty behavior of eating her own poop!! :yikes:

Yesterday was the first time I saw her doing it. After going out to poop she just stood there for a while instead of comming in right away like she always did. I thought she was finding something interested on the ground like a bugs or something.. so I didn't think much of it. When she came in, she smelled horrible. At first I thought she may accidentally step on the poop, or it's stuck to her butt, but no... the smell came straight from her mouth!! :yikes::yikes:

Eww. Is there anything I should do to make 100% certain that it won't become a habit, and that she'll never ever do that again?

I'm also curious what prompted her to do that for the first time. Does anyone know?
