I used to see lots of them when I was a kid - but very rarely now.

They are caused by a medical condition called Endocrine Pancreatic Insuffiency. The diagnosis and treatment has progressed, so most dogs are treated for it very easily (a capsule of pancreatic enzyme a day will sort it out!).

However treatment is not cheap, and often people dont realise it is a problem and think their dog just does weird poos!

I remember going to school and seeing many about. I am surprised if I see any any around these days.

It is particularly common in Golden Retrievers and German Shepherd Dogs.

Some useless information for you laugh

Buster does white poos if he's just scoffed a juicy bone, although I haven't seen it lately, but he doesn't seem to enjoy bones as much as he used to.

They come out white????!!!!

I thought they aged that way and that the reason we no longer saw them is
1)dog food was better
or
2)people now pick up the poopies

Wow! At least I know now after all these years!
