bk_blue Posted October 18, 2002 Posted October 18, 2002 I thought I would post this as a new topic mainly because I didn't want it to get lost in the other "stinky" thread. Now BK is an inside dog, I have noticed his flatulence... urrrgh... I never noticed it before because he was always outside. Apart from baking soda, charcoal tabs, buttermilk, yoghurt (from reading other thread), is there a possiblity that the actual diet is a causal factor? He is fed canned and dry dog food, always has been. Would swapping to BARF over a few months/weeks do any good? The stink is pretty noxious!!! :roll: Quote
Hobbit Posted October 18, 2002 Posted October 18, 2002 bk: I know you are going to think this is crazy...but the stress from the move could also upset him. New surroundings, his schedule was deviated, all the new smells, sounds etc... Sometimes, stress will also cause a "stress shed", they shed lots of hair (like after going to the vet, extensive training, or other stressful event). We may not think it's stressful, but they might.

bk_blue Posted October 19, 2002 Author Posted October 19, 2002 Yeah, I was going to say that might be part of the reason but wasn't sure... it is stressful for both of us (me trying to stop him from escaping again is making ME lose hair! :) ). I might see how he goes for a couple of months and if there is no improvement will do something about it. It's just that it seems to happen when he is "relaxed" ie. asleep or snoozing. Quote
