I'm going to change her name to Stinkerbell! - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Rhetts_mama · 08-24-2013, 02:31 PM

OMG, Cali has had the most awful gas the past couple of weeks. We haven't switched her food (she's on Eukanuba like her foster mom had her on). I'm not sure what's causing it. I've been trying to get her to slow down how quickly she eats, but it hasn't helped. Her stools are small, firm and don't stink. I'm at a loss as to what I should be doing for her. I'll talk to the vet at her next checkup in 2 weeks. Until then does anyone have any suggestions?

This little girl can clear a couch quickly!

I wonder if dogs can take baby mylicon gas drops? If she's pooting that much, her tummy may hurt, too. It wouldn't hurt to ask.

Has she changed foods? Has she been getting new treats? Gosh the silent but deadly are awful...I'm so stinking sorry....

I'd try Probiotics or switch foods... Stinkerbell... that's my Tinkerbell's nickname! LOL!

Stinkerbell, lol. Very cute.

Teddy can produce some stinky gas. I'm sure most people would recommend a diet change, but the food he has eaten for the last 3 years works for him in every other regard. I think it is his nerves because it always happens when he is excited or anxious for something. He is a confident little guy, but a little anxious at the same time.

I hope you can find the answer for Cali.

Love the pun

No new food for her. But she does occasionally get in to Rhett and Scarlett's BB. The people I buy her food from said it could be the grains in her food that she's having problems digesting. I hadn't planned on switching her food until she is older just to minimize the stress on her, since in very other respect she is thriving on it.

I picked up some probiotics from Nature's Farmacy. Has anyone heard of these? Thoughts? I'll give it a try and see if it helps.

I did think it had something to do with nervousness because we first noticed it when we were out doing some shopping with her or while we were in the car. Since then it has started occurring when she's relaxing on the couch. It just kind of escapes while she's lounging, LOL.

Could be that the gas is building up during anxious moments, and she releases it when she relaxes on the couch.

I'm not familiar with probiotic brand you bought. I'll be interested in hearing if it helps her. We used to feed yogurt, but we quit and I don't think Teddy can handle the dairy anymore. I would like to try a probiotic supplement.

Flatulence is common problem and mostly the reason behind this problem is swallowing large amounts of air while eating. Their are may probiotic that help like bifidus and acidophilus. Please take good care over the diet as well as eating schedule and excercising.
