Have any of you ever had sick dogs from eating chicken poop? My dogs have been sick for a couple days now. They are eating and acting normal, but have been having a LOT of diarrhea just out of the blue. The poopy troubles seems to coincide with me letting the chickens out of their closed run and into our fenced in back yard for some "free range" time - the fenced area is also where my dogs hang out, though we are not letting them out there at the same time.
I know my dogs will eat the poop and there is not a lot I can do about it - I have accepted this gross fate. Do you think this just a "stomach getting used to it" stage of turd-gobblinhood? Pure coincidence? Some other kind of dog stomach bug? It is not unusual for them to occasionally have some diarrhea - maybe I am just paranoid that it's the chicken poop?

he won't be a year till oct. He eats any poo he can find (drives hubby nuts) except his own. I had to worm him because my chickens had worms and I wormed them. Figured I'd get it over with. Now I put poopy straw where he can't get it. I wouldn't worry, it's normal.
