Dog shit is white lime because they contain a lot of calcium carbonate, a mineral that can help dogs digest food. Calcium carbonate can also help dogs excrete toxins from their bodies, thus protecting their health.
Dog shit is white lime-like, mainly related to the dog's usual diet, gallbladder condition and parasites. First of all, when a dog eats more bones or foods with high calcium content, it will cause white feces to be pulled, which will not be easy to clump and crush. Secondly, if the dog's bile duct is blocked, causing bileoflavin to enter the intestines, it will cause the dog's feces to form but turn white. Finally, after taking the deworming medicine, the dog may also pull white feces, which may be parasite eggs or adult corpses.
1. Dietary reasons
The foods eaten by dogs will affect the color of dog feces. If the dog eats more bones or high-calcium foods and cannot absorb calcium, the shit that is pulled will be white and not easy to clump, and it will break when pinched. This is a normal situation. After that, pay attention to giving the dog normal dog food or feeding the normal food it had eaten before the dog, and the color of the feces should return to normal.
2. Biliary duct blockage
If the dog's body is blocked, biliflavin cannot enter the intestines, it will cause feces to form but whiten. Because there are many causes of bile duct blockage, such as stones, roundworms, tumors, etc., it is recommended that the owner take the dog to a pet hospital for a specific examination, such as B-ultrasound, blood routine, etc., find out the cause, and then proceed to the next step of treatment.
3. Parasite
If the feces drawn by the dog are not completely white, but are distributed in large pieces or stripes, then the white substance may be parasite eggs or adult corpses. This situation usually occurs after the dog takes the deworming medicine, and it is normal for the dog to eliminate parasites in the body, so the owner does not need to worry too much.
