| Stinky butt!! I had posted a thread earlier and in return I was told that my pup has mucus poops. Could this be why he is farting (sorry for the term) so much? They had said the mucus poop could be caused by an irritated stomach. HELP! Whats is wrong with my little guy!?!?! |

| He recently has been scooting on the carpet, but when he is farting he is laying on the couch. Could his anal glands finally be expressing themselves withouth him even moving? |

| The mucus could also be a sign of coccidia. Has he been to the vets and had his stool checked? |

| well not THE best... but it's ok.. does it have corn or chicken in it??? it could be bothering his stomach... Layla CAN"T eat a kibble high in fish.. boy do we SMELL IT!!! can you try a duck or veal or lamb based food... merricks, Solid Gold.... Wellness.. usually you can ask for samples... i'm kinda with the mindset any food you can get at Petsmart probably shouldn't be eaten.. i'd try changing his food before you worry too much and remember when you change it he WILL have diarhea for a few days... it's his bodys way of cleaning out the bad stuff and getting ready for the good stuff anyways.. something to think about and there is always home cooking firms that poop right up! |

| Stinky Butt (Farts) usually means that something in his food is not agreeing with his body. And I agree that Royal Cain isn't the greatest. I would go with Canidae All Life Stages, but you have change slowly, over a weeks time. You really should bring him to the Vet for a check up. And bring a stool sample (as fresh as possible) |

| Yeah, I just looked at the ingredients and there is A LOT of chicken in it. Maybe we will try that first. The only other thing is that we had seen a small trace of blood in his poop a while back ago. It was only twice though. The coccidia that I looked up said something about that. I am getting really confused lol! Could that be the food too? Do you know any good dog recipes? |
