About a week ago I noticed what looked like kidney beans in my dogs stool. 6 or 7 of them. I was curious so I put on some nitrile gloves and pulled one out and cut it open. Hard as a rock, just like a raw bean. My initial reaction when I saw it was that looks like the egg sack from a cockroach, this prompted me to pull one out and slice it up. Obviously then I knew it wasn't an egg sack. Sorry no pics, but they look like a large kidney bean- more brown in color than deep red, and a white center. She's still pooping them out. She isn't eating raw beans and I've looked all over the yard and can't find anything similar which has me worried it's some sort of parasite or intestinal diseases. 2 1// year old Mini Aussie, no change at all in her behavior or appetite. No vomiting. Just bean like objects in her turds. She's going to the vet tomorrow because I'm boarding her for the weekend and will have them check it out, but I wanted to ask here first to see if anyone has had this issue with their dog.

Don't think so unless they're mutant tapeworms. Think a brown Lima bean

Nope. They're all slick and have the same shape. I feel like she has to be eating something in the yard but I can't find the source so it's got me worried

The undigested masses appearing in the stools of infants taking milk are usually spoken of as “curds.” These may be small, soft and white, and may make up a large part of the loose stool. An excess of mucous is usually present. [This was true with me too!] Such masses are composed almost entirely of fat. There are also seen, but much less frequently, larger smooth hard masses of a yellowish-brown color, but white on section. They are usually present in small numbers in a stool, the rest of which might be quite normal. These hard or “bean curds,” so called for their resemblance to lima beans, are composed chiefly of protein, usually with an envelope of fat. They are undoubtedly formed in the stomach, where the casein coagulates in masses, some of which are so firm and hard that they pass the intestine without being digested. Curds of this description are rarely seen unless proportion of casein in the food is high.

Little shite is eating them off the ground so that's a relief. I only have pines and oaks in my yard where I'm finding them...any idea what these are falling from? Don't see them on any of the trees in the yard.




ETA: good call on who said persimmons. Just found a shriveled up persimmon in the corner.

I see you’ve figured it out and I’m glad you’ve got your mind at ease, but I’m gonna offer you some free advice. My two dogs are both smart and dumbasses in their own ways. My jack russell is a mole and squirrel killing machine but she eats hers and our other dogs shite. My Boykin is the most lovable dog I’ve ever been around but also an a-hole and it’s probably mostly my fault. She digs in the trash, drinks out of the toilet, and a half dozen other things that just piss me off.


I say all that to say this. Dogs are resilient. We can worry about them, but 99 times out of 100, they are gonna be fine.
