Why is she doing this?

Nicki has lately been giving off really bad gas - sometimes you need to clear the room. This is recent, within the last month.

She does have bad allergies and her food is the same thing its been for years (dry Nutro.) She's currently on antibiotics for an infection and steroids to help with ithcing over the allergies. But the gaseous state began before both meds were given.

Is it something that happens once they get older? She'll be nine in a few weeks. Should we be giving her something to reduce gas? Its really quite bad.

Her new nick-name is smelly butt. :)
