My Dog is 2 years old. We leave him outside our patio throughout the whole day. Never does anything wrong. Since now he has been peeing and pooping a lot lately in the patio. We just thought that he may had a stomach virus, so we gave him some meds that vet had given us awhile ago. Now he pees more and poops, he eats his poop too.

We do have live in between two neighbors that have dogs and our backyard is fenced in. Lately though my neighbor lets her dog out in her backyard and comes right towards our fense but our fense is enclosed meaning not see through, but there is certain holes where both my dog and her dog can see each other. I think its because of my neighbor's dog, but this isn't new. That dog has been doing that for awhile now and I don't know if its my neighbors dog or not. Or does he have a blatter problem.

I would start with a check-up. Does your dog seem anxious around the other dog? I have a very anxious dog and when stressed she poops every 10 minutes. I would consider trying to keep the dog inside. If your dog is less anxious that might reduce the accidents. There are products on the market for that nasty habit of cleaning up (eating) after himself. The two most popular are Forbid and Deter. I have also heard that "adding some pineapple juice to their food makes the poop taste awful"! LOL You would think you don't need to add anything to it!

Yeah he is anxious around the other dog, even when we let him outside in the backyard, he litterly wants to try to get any piece of the dog next door when they are both out. We had let him in our house a couple of nights and he poops inside the house but does not pee. I'm going to take him to the vet soon but just wanted to know if anyone had a similar problem.
