Question

We just recently got a male pit bull puppy that is 8 weeks old. He has very bad gas, even after he uses the bathroom. He was on Purina puppy at his breeder. Is there anything that we can do to get rid of the gas?

Dear Sweet,

 

Is he on puppy chow?

 

Is he having diarrhea?

 

Does his abdomen look bloated?

Reply

Yes, he is on Purina Pro Plan large breed puppy, and Nutro Ultra puppy (mix of the two). Has been on Purina puppy at breeder. No, diarrhea. Somewhat loose stool, but is formed, just not hard. He has a little bit of a belly, but doesn't look bloated.

Accepted Answer

Thank you.

 

There is a possibility that he has gas from the food change.

 

He may also have gas because he has gastro intestinal parasites.

 

As soon as you can, it would be a good idea to have a vet check his fecal sample for worms and other gastrointestinal parasites.

 

You can give him 1/8 of a gas-x tablet if his gas is really bad.
