So for some reason this year we are having a problem with birds pooping on our pool deck (and IN our pool)[emoji36][emoji51]
I have actually seen with my own eyes at least 6 times in the last few days where a bird has flown over real low and pooped in the pool! And have vacuumed out at least a dozen every day. Besides having to spray off the deck of another dozen everyday!
I have seen Bella eating the poo [emoji2960][emoji51][emoji37][emoji849] that is soooooooo gross besides I am sure cannot be good either.
Any advice? Besides yelling at her to stop! Lol

That is so not good for any dog as itā€™s a fungal infection that keeps growling inside the intestines. :( Not much you can do but keep training Bella as birds wonā€™t go away.

We actually put some cake pans above the pool and it has helped today anyway.
I read maybe a fake snake and owl will deter the birds too. Will have to try that!

Sorry to hear! If you notice vomiting, diarrhea, and lethargy show up within a week of ingestion then take her to the vet. In the meantime start her on some probiotics.

I read that [emoji3525]
Will be watching for those symptoms.
We strung some tin cake pans by the stairs and across the pool yesterday (it seemed to help) I am sure they will get used to them and not be afraid for too long .
