Help! Dog farts!

[MizM]

Well, she sees a vet regularly asnd gets everything don that she needs to, but this IS California... we have a plethora of creatures. Thanks for the advice, I'm going to have her checked!

Thats great! Its so easy to pick up parasites and other creatures...or so they say.

I wonder if Beano would work?

 

[MizM]

Aww, and I was hoping you'd transform my dog into some laugh-so-hard-I-pee-my-pants photo!=D

 

[caligulathegod]

I was going to, then my dog farted. (13 year old scotty)

 

[MizM]

Oh God NO.... I'm SO SORRY to hear that... but glad I don't have to SMELL it!

I have a German Shorthair Pointer that can lay a gas cloud that hangs around for 20 minutes, you have to leave the room to escape. Whats funny is that he just looks at you like, "It wasn't me!". lol



Why hasn't the goverment bottled this stuff and toss it at few enemies...they'd surrender in no time.

I'll say! Put my dog in a cave with Osama bin Laden, and he'll be out in a flash!!

Nutro helps shedding? I may try that for my cats!

I've never owned a dog, but I did work at PetSmart for a couple years.

They have a couple things for this kind of problem, including a couple different brands of tablets and treats: http://www.petsmart.com/global/prod...older_id=2534374302026155&bmUID=1079905542198

I hope you find something that works!

 

[MizM]

I'm going for the gas-relief tablets! Thanks!

I would lay blame on the rawhide chews. I can't even give my dog anything with rawhide or he gets aggressive for several days following. He's aggressive towards strangers but after getting rawhide he'll growl and snap at me which is intolerable. When my dog gets gas its usually because my grandfather or other family member gave him cheese as a treat when I'm not around.

 

[MizM]

She's not agressive, well, unless you try to hurt me or the kids! She just has FARTS!! She's not allowed to eat cheese. She LOVES onions, raw jalapeño peppers, ANY human food. But we cut her off of all of that about a year ago, the only "people" treat she gets is her beloved ice cubes! As far as the rawhide goes, without her big ole bones, she gets plaque, and then THAT end smells too!!

One of my friends has an ancient black lab that farts nearly constantly, I'm fairly sure he feeds it just whatever she wants. Guy doesn't do anything about it though, even though his house smells horrible--bieng a bodybuilder and on protien supplements, HIS farts are at least as bad as the dog's

Well.....Sorry Mizm, sorry to be the one to tell you this, but that farting is something you can't really control. I volunteered at a vet hospital for two years (I saw and heard everything). It is definately in their diet, but some dogs you just can't fix it. It has to deal with how their bodies digest the food and how much gas is produced. It is a normal thing yet not very many dogs have it like you explain it. Switching her food could cause it or giving her "human" food is a big factor for farting in dogs too. I am no vet but I know a tons of stuff about dogs and cats, etc.

At least your dog doesn't use it as a defense mechanism. When I pick up my cocker spaniel....*pppfffftttt*.......run for cover.

 

[MizM]

I'm STILL going for the tablets. I don't care if she farts all day long... I just want to get rid of the SMELL!!! I'm running out of incense, scented candles, Glade.... :8o

 

[LPacker79]

If you have the time, perhaps an all natural diet would help her? A lot of people swear by BARF (Bones And Raw Food).

 

[MizM]

Wish I DID have time! Between work, the Ts, the kids, the house, the hubby.... I'm ALREADY worn out!!

BARF! That's funny... my hubby makes this AWESOME casserole that includes ground beef and mashed potatoes. Although it's WAY yummy, it looks like, well, what we nicknamed it... DOG BARF! My coworkers look at me very strangely when I say "Cool, gotta get home quick, my hubby made dog barf tonight!"

There really nothing you can do except what you are doing with the scented candles and what not. Your dog just has a gas problem. Don't waste your money on all that crap to try and fix it. This is just part of your dog's body and chemistry. Just some friendly advice. You might be able to help the smell, bu sticking to organic foods or high in protein foods. Whatever you do, no more "human" food. That's a main factor on why they fart and smells.

You should teach your kids to help take care of your Ts. It would give you more time and give them exp. with Ts.

MMMMMMMMMMMMM...................Dog Barf. :} :} :} :} :} :}

 

[MizM]

My kids can't take care of THEMSELVES, let alone my Ts!! Boys aged 9 and 13 are NOT interested in pets. It's all about PSII, rollerblading and GIRLS!!

 

[Spider-man 2]

YOU are the mom. You need to regulate and be like listen here you little bitches. You better listen to mommy or I'll put spider poop in your dog barf. Or tell them they can't touch girls until they are 18 or take away the PS2. You have the power, Mizm. Show them who is boss. I sound like I will be some hard ass dad, when I am older.

Show them how to help you take care of your Ts. Offer them allowance of something.

You need to accept that your dog has a problem and live with it ;P. Who's knows, you might just get used to the smell, just don't invite anyone over otherwise you will need gasmasks for them.

When my rott/ black lab mix farts, you say to her," Dakota, that was sooo lady like." She will look up at you and give you the face of "Yeah so what. What are you gonna do about? Girls fart too ya know. Now shut up and leave me alone, im resting ho." Sometimes she will smile at you and be like "What?" I love that dog, I would kill for her. She's my baby. Here's a pic of her.

Yes that's me!
