There is a term for that in dogs which I have been fortunate enough to forget. Often a dog will be lacking something in it's diet or have digestion problems. BTW, rabbits have to eat some of their own scat or die from a vitamin K defeciency. Would PICA be the term? That's the term for humans that eat dirt and such. I know baby wabbits at a certain stage truly need to have some of their Momma's scat for immune system development purposes but it's not an ongoing thing and hadn't read that adult wabbits need to. I regret to say that I have witnessed dogs, including my own, partake of road apples. At least that's mostly roughage. But, cross my heart, never cat scat....pwuughhhhhthhkkk! On the other hand I witnessed one of our young cats spend an hour devouring a gopher-like animal completely, head to tail. All gone. Everything. I'll bet that gopher had poop in him. They say that dog's mouths are supposedly cleaner than humans. After all of the above I'm very reluctant to have any pet lick any part of my carcASS no matter what the clinical facts may be.
