POOP EATING....
Unfortunately my puppy also is a recovering poop addict, she can pass the litter box without a kitty crispy. Dogs eat poop a few reasons a.)mommy dogs ‘clean’ (aka eat) the puppy dropping to avoid predatory animals from finding her litter of puppies b.) the puppy is afraid of being caught pooping in the house c.) boredom puppy loves new smells and sensations and tries to understand the world through chewing.
THE FIX......
If this continues ask your vet, there is a powder that mixes in the puppy or cat food and make feces bitter and discourages the pup from future exploration.
DIET.....
Also, be careful eggs can carry salmonella, and milk is difficult for dogs to digest. My puppy eats a few teaspoons of vanilla ice creme or a frosty pay every few weeks. She also eats small amounts of cheese at puppy kindergarten, but sometimes it gives her the runs.
PURGING.....
My puppy throws up if she eats dinner to fast. My vet told me to give her dry food on a flat plastic plate instead of a dog bowl. This forces the dog to eat slower and chew their food.
Snacks....
My puppy loves chopped raw carrots, small amounts of cheese, sliced hot dogs, popcorn, and cheerios. This works great for clicker training a pup.
Good luck

I bet it has something to do with the milk and eggs! Milk is no good for dogs and eggs are a very common food allergy. Don't feed her for 24 hours and only let her have VERY small amounts of water. You can also give her some Pedialyte to prevent dehydration. If she is still vomiting after you try that, then call a vet. Good Luck!!

Obviously, the dog doesn't tolerate one of these items. I suspect the milk. My question to you is, why are you feeding a puppy so late? You must enjoy getting up in the middle of the night to take it out.

u should try feeding her real dog food.. kibbles with rice, chicken or beef as the first ingredient...
and she might have stomach flu, but if this has been happening for a long time, the food might not be good for her and u need to go to vet to arrange good diet and
the poop is becus she wants to clean it up and not want u to know its there and also becus she is missing osmething in her diet.

You should try calling a vet or searching online for reasons why your dog may be throwing up.

dogs really dont digest dairy very well,i would stop feeding the dog ,milk and eggs,it could kill the dog. dog food it the best thing for the dog. and the poop thing could be a lack of vitamin,
