| Tummy Problems Hey everyone! I was home from work today so I have just been lounging around with Romeo. Anyhow, his little stomach is making some horrible noises. It sounds like something that would be in my stomach. He has just been laying around all day but his poor little belly must be torn up. Anyone have any suggestions? |

Donating YT 30K Club Member | Cali had that the other day and I gave her hamburger and by the next day she was fine. She didn't want to eat at first but later in the day she ate. My pom gets that alot and it's better the next day. With my Pom the noise is so loud it scares her. I hope he feels better soon.

| This is from "ask the vet" and sounds like your situation: Topic: Ask the Veterinarian Subject: rumbling stomach Question I have a german sheapard dog. For the last two days a strange noise has been coming from her stomach especially when she lays down. It sounds almost like a persons stomach who is hungry, in which a fairly loud gurgling sound is omitted. For my dog is louder than a humans and extremely more frequent. She also has a tendancy to lick her stomach more w/the sound. The obvious would be too say shes hungry, but she gets fed every night and her pan is always filled to the top. ?? Answer Hi Nathan! Has your dog shown any signs of weight loss (despite having a normal or increased appetite), diarrhea or flatulence? There is a pancreatic insufficiency which German Shepherds are prone to that has the symptom of increased stomach noises. If there are any signs of weight loss, vomiting or diarrhea then it would be best to discuss this with your vet. The rumbling noise is produced by the passage of gas through the intestinal tract, it's known as borborygmus. It is also helpful to avoid situations that provoke nervousness and to prevent greedy fast eating, both of which result in air swallowing. Anti-gas enzymes supplements such as Digel, Maalox and Mylanta might help. Talk to your vet for the correct dosage. Additionally the routine use of plain yogurt with "live active cultures" (Lactobacillus acidophilus) can be used. Try adding one tablespoon daily to the dog's food. Diets high in soybean, whole-wheat products, bran, lactose (mild sugar) and fats can cause gaseousness. Spoiled foods and foods high in protein or fats are also likely to produce gas. Changing to a highly digestible, low-fiber diet of moderate protein and fat content might help. If you consider changing food, do so slowly over a period of 4-5 days so that you don't upset your dog's stomach. I hope this has been helpful and I wish you the best of luck!Please keep me posted and give that German Shepard millions of kisses for me!Sending wagging tails your way! |

| When I heard something like that coming from Muffin's tummy, I would give her a quarter of a TUMS. It would stop the tummy noises and then she was usually able to eat. She liked them, so I never had any trouble getting her to eat them.
