passing gas?

[.sarah]

I just read in the other thread that she ate a large venison roast and organs. Has she had it before? If not I would think it's the roast that's giving her the gas. Next time you may want to cut down on the amount you give her.

My dogs get gas when they have a large amount of pork (so now I have the butcher cut the pork roasts in 1/4s instead of giving them a whole one at once). I know the first time I gave them a whole one I figured it was okay, because they'd had pork many times before, and they'd eaten large things like whole chickens. Boy was I wrong! Some of the worst gas and burps I've ever smelt! And it was a rainy night, the power went out, so we decided to go drive around with the dogs to find which power line was down and call the company ... bad idea! They stunk up the car big time!!

So basically I try to prevent gas by knowing what they can and can't handle. "Know thy dog". hehehe

Gas-X, or the store brand of it, works great.

I would look for some good digestive enzymes for your dog. That will usually clear up the problem for good.

i need to try these things! Gracie has BAD gas! often times while driving down the road we have to pull over and get out to get fresh air.

Gas can be the result of an allergic reaction to certain foods. Pay attention to what she ate before it happens and cut that out of her diet.

Sometimes Lady is less than ladylike after dinner...........

Just every once in a while, but she can clear out our living room.

If Star is having a 'gassy' day I give her some yogurt or canned pumpkin. It doesn't eliminate the problem entirely, but it helps.

What ever you do don't light a match but follow her around with a jar and for God sakes conserve gas. its so expensive now days.

My Rotti Zues alwyas had bad gas, and he would always leave the room first!!!!! But venison, always causes bad gas!!! We never fed it, becuase of that! Lots of foods cause bad gas, they always have some, but certain foods can make it worse!!!

Samson is good for quiet, smelly ones. He gets a tablespoon of plain yogurt every night in his food. Cuts down on occurences and odor.

We all can relate to the subject of this thread.
First, I had to compose myself before submitting a reply. (Ahem)




As Karen noted, Lighting a Match really works wonders!!!

I found, at least with my daughter's German Sheperds, that Beef is a no-no!!!!

I've given them Salmon these past few weeks and it tends to agree with them ( great, because it is expensive and their eyes get real big and glassy when I offer it with their Kibble).


Oh My god Lute, that "pulling over" and Aborting ship, made me laugh so hard!!!!!

If or when my daughter's German Sheperd dogs get the fluffs, I wlll try the Gas X!!!

Oh yes, she has had those foods before, in fact quite often, at least a few times a week and she's never had a problem before. Yes, they did get a large roast but it was cut into 1/4's so they could all share it so it really wasn't that big of a chunk per dog. She has also had that same amount of those foods before with no ill effects.
