Here is a good article about eating stool: https://www.petcoach.co/article/stool-eating-coprophagy/ Bad breath can indicate dental disease or it could be the anal glands if she is licking her rectum a lot. This could also indicate a problem. I recommend to play it safe and have your pup examined by the veterinarian. Best of luck.
