Common Questions and Answers about What causes gas in dogs
gas
I am not suggesting this person try this but my Vet and I were talking one day about gas in dogs. Kind of a funny story but one of the K-9 Officers with our local PD had a dog with a flatulance problem and you can imagine being in a car for hours with a dog with digestive issues. Officer finally brought the dog into the Vet. First suspect food and that was changed a couple of times with no improvement. Tested negative for allergies. Other tests done, all negative.
Eating bones causes white dog poo. I remember watching this myself when I was a kid! We let our dog have a bone, then....well... (I was fascinated!!)
Actually I am not a great fan of giving dogs bones. It does more harm than good. Even with a 'safe' bone it can cause terrible constipation. I know they eat them in the wild, but then again, they don't live so long in the wild.
My dogs bun level in at 122 up from 85 in December. He is a Laasa Apso age 16. Liver and heart are fine.
Phosphorus level is 9.6.
My vet has only said this will get worse. So far he is not vomiting but has loss of interest in food and it is a real challenge to get him to eat anything. He sleeps most of the time. My vet has me giving him B12 shots every 3 days.
Other than suggesting a low protein diet and Standard Process renal support he hasn't offered me anymore suggestions.
I've had 6 negative pregnancy test but continue to have painfully tender breasts, lower back and abdominal pain, gas and strangely sometimes shoulder pain. if it's not pregnancy what else could be causing it all?
Back in august of last year my vet recommended the Costco brand dog food by kirklands, she stated it was a better quality than the nutro max I was feeding them. Both dogs are over weight and since the food change they have lost some weight. Their poop is normal and they drink plenty of water and the vet just did a physical. My older dog will go 2-3days without touching his food but I can hear his tummy grumble and the younger will eat half today and maybe the other half tomorrow.
Any sudden change of your dogs diet can cause gas as does feeding of too many table scraps. Smelly gas is normal in dogs but if its frequent then something is wrong in his/her diet. I recommend a high protein, low fiber diet. The cheaper brands of dog food are made with alot of filler and less protein, that could also cause excess gas. Especially older dogs need a good quality dog food. Good Luck!
Hi. About a year ago, my 9 year old husky/shepherd/wolf mutt regularly started having big burps that smell like sulfur. Sometimes farts, too. He had a sensitive stomach when young...I tried several different foods, and he has eaten Canidae for the last 7 years. Perfect, since I developed celiac disease 3 yrs ago and Canidae is gluten-free!
Gas and bloat could be caused by the whey shakes alone, Whey is a source of fiber, fiber causes gas in some cases. You get gas and pain from bloat when the "Bubble" of air or gas in the stomache or colon is too large to pass, so the expansion causes pain, a OTC drug called Simethicone breaks these bubble up into smaller particles or bubbles, and allows them to pass much easier.
lately i'm feeling bloating in my stomach and change in stool odor. its like more gas i have to release and it smells bad when i poop. what might this be?
i've been really stressed lately and too anxious as well. i think i'm depressed coz of frequent mood swings and panic attacks. and after eatin when i feel like full and burp it feels kinda sour.
can IBS cause this or is it some kind of bacteria. i feel like this since after i made out with a girl.
The finding came as a surprise to all the scientists involved. Researchers at Pfizer were investigating virus outbreaks in dogs in shelters across the United States. They swabbed the noses of dogs sick with respiratory diseases and searched for viruses. In some cases they could not isolate a known virus, so they sent samples to the Center for Infection and Immunity at Columbia University, where researchers specialize in finding new viruses.
