As far as an acceptable word for poop, in Mexico I've been told to use "eces" "heces" as a general term. Anybody able to confirm that? There are other words but they are fairly technical and medical and would sound weird in the context of a pet (like "fecal matter" or "stool" would in English).

I hope that "la perra" in reference to a specific female dog is not questionable since I have been using that for a couple months in Mexico! So far I have not gotten any negative reactions, so I'm pretty sure that it's at least not as strongly negative if it does have similar connotations/ stigma as in the U.S.

I'd also be interested to find out how to say something more non-specific like "clean up after my dog" (for instance if I was walking my dog in a park and needed to ask for a plastic bag to "clean up after him"). Anyone else know how you would phrase that? "Limpiar sobre mi perro?"

Also, does anyone know a euphamism for a dog "doing his business"? I assume it would sound weird to say he "fui al baño" since dogs don't use a bathroom.
