Drinking urine is not abnormal. My Cedes does it occasionally. I
just shudder a little bit when he decides to give me a kiss <g>.
Several of the vets have said there's nothing to be concerned about.

Now, eating feces may be another matter. I've never heard of one
doing that. Since girls tend to do both in one spot, is it possible
that she's just drinking the urine and not really eating her feces?

Gee...what a pleasant conversation<g>.
