Warning: TMI
My poor dog has BAD gas. He's not actually farting, but I can hear the gas internally from across the room. Rumbling and gurgling...It is very loud. He pooed this morning and it was a little soft, but not diarrhea. He's laying around and sleeping a lot, but he always does that in the afternoons. He did go on a walk and acted fine. He must be miserable. Is there anything I can do to make him feel better?
BTW...he actually has his yearly exam and shots tomorrow... But it's a drop-off appt where I just leave him and go... I won't get to see the vet Until I pick him up...
Poor baby...

Do you have any Pepcid? We give Tucker a Pepcid Complete when he gets gassy like that and it really helps.
Hope your poor guy is comfortable soon!!

I had a golden retriever that would wake you from a dead sleep when she passed gas. One time we actually had to leave the house. I blame it on being in college, poor as could be and feeding the dog Old Roy from Walmart. That stench would have been in the secret torture book if they had of known about it.  |

OMG, this reminds me...sorry for the hijack...
I took piano lessons forever, and for several years from one particular teacher. She had some small dog (in my mind's eye, I'm seeing something like a Shih Tzu) that would wander into the studio and leave THE.MOST.NOXIOUS.FARTS.EVER. This was something like 30 years ago, and I haven't forgotten...Yeah, they were that bad, and that frequent...

My shih-tzu would really let some really ripe farts. She would raise her head, sniff and then put her head down again.

Poor pup. I have no idea. I too have one (Mini Schnauzer) that has loud weird rumbling noises. She sometimes toots and it sure smells. Out JackRussell is silent & deadly.

Stella has horrible dog farts too. We have learned what food makes it worse and we make sure we don't give her any of that. She also sleeps with her butt in my face....fart nights and nasty!!!

He's not actually farting, and luckily, it does not smell at all. I almost wish that he would fart, because it might relieve him a little bit.
He very rarely gets gas, and almost never farts. But it's hilarious when he does--because it freaks him out. He turns around and looks at his butt like he's thinking "What was that??!?"
I think I'll run and get some Pepcid. I googled it and it seems very safe. Thanks!

We have a fairly new puppy and shortly after we got her, she had the worst gas. Her stomach would rumble and she would fart. We didn't know any different and just thought she was a gassy pup. She ended up having worms. Once she was de-wormed, the gas disappeared. It seems weird but that is the only thing I can attribute her gas to.

What about activated charcoal? Is that safe for dogs? One brand name is Charco-caps and they come in a blue box.

All the more reason for us to keep Cooper on a "made for dogs only" diet. It may not prevent it all but it should help.

My dog isn't gassy all the time, but when he is he can clear a room!! I'll have to try that with Bear. Our breed is SO prone to bloat that many owners and breeders give them a Pepcid Complete daily as a preventative measure. I don't go that route, but I do have it on hand at ALL times to relieve gas quickly. We get him the chewables and he's happy to have them...and we are, too, because jeez, oh Pete can that dog blow some gas  . He scares himself to death every time he farts...as he's clearing the entire first floor! |

<-<-<- My little rat terrier is one of the silent but deadly types too. When I go "Ewwww...what did you do??!" she will try to look innocent, but I know better!

<--- This one rarely farts, but certain foods make his stomach gurgly. The noises that come from his little tummy are disturbing. Now the big girl in my siggy, when she gets gas it will clear a room. You will know who did it, too, because hers always smell like eggs.  |

I feed a quality food made for little dogs. But I also give him some fruits and vegetables when I'm eating them. He loves blueberries and mangos. And I posted earlier about making that roasted broccoli that I like so much, my dog loves it too. And believe it or not, no farts! The only time he has farted is when he eats cheese or when he ate some of the cheapo food my sister was giving her dog. My previous dogs did, but this guy doesn't. Or, if he does, they don't stink because he's always with me, but my hearing isn't what it once was.

I have two labs who, despite my great effort to prevent it, frequent the garbage can. (they have currently figured out how to get past the cabinet beneath the sink. Time for child locks I guess) The fumes they expel throughout the house should be bottled and used by our government as WMD'S.
Seriously. It's gross.
I have found that some of the more expensive brands of dog food give them the worst gas. I think it may be the high protein content, but I may be wrong. We recently lost our beloved Junior and he was allergic to grains so they ate grain free dog food. Since he passed away we have been able to switch to a less expensive brand (we feed kirkland lamb and rice now) and the gas has lessened since the switch. Not sure if that has anything at all to do with it, but I suspect it does.

The vet surgeon gave us a Rx of Pepcid for our Frenchie. It's for her regurging food but come to think of it she hadn't been tooting much.
My Jack Russell is 13yo and has become quite gassy. There are times when I pick her up she is so bad I can play her like a bagpipe.

Greyhounds often have stomach issues due to their diets while racing. The rumbling sounds from their stomachs sounds like people screaming and can wake you from a dead sleep. I have two Greyhounds and if they get too many people food snacks or eat stuff in the yard like Raccoon poop, we get the dual singing stomachs. Sometimes gas too which so remarkably repulsive and rank that it can be handy if you want visitors to leave and never ever return.
Plain Pepto Bismol(sp)tablets often helps.

Oh man. Greyhound gas can be the worst! A friend had a greyhound and we had to leave the room if she was gassy. It was BAD!

DH once went to the store to buy food and came home with O Roy (walmart brand) I told him that wasn't what we fed the dog. He told me that dog food was dog food and this was cheap.
OMG the dog farts smelled soooo bad that he threw away the bag and never bought it again. Sometimes cheaper isn't better.
