Somedays he is just clearly uncomfortable, he hides under the computer stand, he wont jump up on the furniture etc, but his poop is normal and he eats fine. His last xrayed didnt show much but possible gas, vet said his hernia isnt the issue.
His blood work came back fine. Does anyone know what it could be? Is it caused because of gas? Would the rx diet help that?
Thanks in advance..
My late Molly who had Chronic Pancreatitis took a 1/4 Pepcid AC a day, and when she started to get a hard tummy due to gas, per My Vet I gave her the Infant Gas Drops with Simethicone and it helped a lot. You can ask your Vet about that and the amount to give him.

I always have this in my doggie First Aide kit.
