Why is my dog eating grass and pooping it out immediately for weeks?

She may have an upset stomach, maybe she ate something she shouldn't have, swallowed something that is causing an obstruction, parasites, or an infection of some kind are possibilities. I recommend getting he seen by your vet, especially if she isn't feeling well. Your vet will do an exam, labwork and possibly x-rays. Based on these findings, they will be able to give you a better idea of what is going on and give you treatment options.

Your dog should be seen by your vet as soon as possible. Your dog is more than likely suffering from some kind of gastrointestinal upset, some toxic exposure, bacterial infection or other disorder. Your vet will do an exam, labwork and possibly x-rays to determine the reason for your pet's illness and get her started on treatment.

It could be either - some dogs with gastrointestinal disease will eat grass and the occasional vomiting could be a sign of nausea. It’s also possible that this is simply a preference that Otis has. I would recommend having him examined by a vet to make sure there is no concern for a gastrointestinal problem. They might recommend checking blood work as well.

Grass eating is one of those annoying habits that some dogs just tend to have. The cause of this is not really known, although there are a couple of theories as to the reason. You have already mentioned possible dietary deficiencies (or at least Rino might think he has one) or assistance with digestion. So long as Rino is not eating grass constantly, it is not likely to cause any serious digestive issues. You will likely continue to see occasional diarrhea and/or vomiting. It is preferable that he eats grass over unknown shrubs, as there are many toxic plants that grow in the wild. I would consider adding a probiotic to the diet in an attempt to try and make the stool a little firmer. I usually recommend Fortiflora as a good choice. It is a packet of powder that you sprinkle on the food once a day. Hope this helps work things out.

Yes, trying a sensitive stomach dog food may help. Science Diet and Purina ProPlan both make good formuals. Starting her on a probiotic 1 week of every month may also help. Please feel free to post any additional questions.

It's hard to say. Some dogs will eat grass or leaves because their stomach hurts, as it often induces vomiting. Some dogs just like to eat these things and it doesn't cause any harm. I think it is worth discussing with your vet, especially if this is happening more than just occasionally.
