If not, as much as we despise the vet diets, we may have to put him on one and just give him a good supplement. They have 1 diet that is hypo-allergenic and consists of hydrolized ingredients. I feel bad for him, though it doesn't seem to bother him most of the time, as long as he passes the gas.
He was sitting at my feet watching me put his pills in the "meatballs" and let out the longest, squeakiest one I have ever heard from a dog  . He was smiling and wagging his tail the whole time  |
LOL I guess he felt so much better after wards....LOL

It's not always that bad, but sometimes... he can clear a room! |
About the bum by your head put a bath towel over his butt so if he farts the towel will help hold it in. LOL

We used to give him raw carrots. he LOVES them, but he doesn't digest them at all... there's always big chunks in his stools. The specialist thinks he has sensitivities to chicken, salmon and carrots... which, unfortunately, are in almost all of the really good kibble 
She wants us to feed him something he hasn't been exposed to, so we put him on duck/rice. The bison looks great from Timberwolf until you read the ingredients which also include salmon meal and carrots. But ty for the suggestion! It does look like great food. |
about the raw carrots...i was told that dogs don't digest raw carrots that they do just go thru. ,,,u have to cook them and puree them for them to digest them. I gave Mindy a tiny carrot and it went thru her in chunks..but she loved eating them.
Frenchy gives her dogs carrots and she is the one that told me about them, I think. She said that the carrots are just for fun.
