This is why they tell you to always clean up after you pet. Damn irresponsible pet owners. lol. Anyway, she could get Parvo, E.Coli, Toxoplasmosis, Worms, and I'm sure a world of other things. I'm sure its nothing really serious since dogs eat feces all the time. A lot of times just from boredom. I'd watch her for a few days, check her stools make sure they are normal. If she seems sick, becomes more lazy or standoffish, call your vet right away. It wouldn't help to just call and consult your vet anyway. Simple phone call won't hurt. Hope you the best for you and your pup. I'm sure she'll be just fine :)

Watch her. If she doesn't have her shots she good get parvo. There is also a chance of worms. You might also want to and more to her food diet. Usually dogs eat poop to get more nutrients.

dogs eat poop. She may get worms from it tho, if the animal it came from had worms.
There is a very small chance of getting a disease from poop, such as lepto. Worms are far more likely.

Don't worry, it's perfectly natural. I have a 6 month old minpin and she has eaten poop a few times, including hers own! You should just pull her away from the poop and distract her from it.

Keep an eye on your dog, and if she begins to exhibit symptoms, take her to the vet.

LOL! No, she won't die. But there is a risk that she may get worms. I would have her dewormed. It's inexpensive and it will give you peace of mind.
