My terrier is eating her feces (not too fresh). What can I do? Thanks!

Not much. A lot of dogs do this. You can not give her access to the stools by getting them up before she gets to them. There are a number of folk remedies but none of them work. I got mine to stop by changing to a prey model raw diet. It seems that eliminating carbs makes the stools less desirable. I didn't switch for that problem but it stopped as soon as I started the new diet. They would still occasionally eat other dog's stools but never their own.
