Over the last few days our Labrador Retriever, Midnight, has had more gas than usual. Stinky gas that produces stinky farts. Ughh!
I have no idea why she’s more gassy than usual. We haven’t changed her diet – well other than to eliminate Nutro Natural Choice a couple of weeks ago (rumors that it’s making a lot of dogs sick!), but she’s on her other regular food so that shouldn’t have made a big difference.
Midnight says “What do you mean? My farts don’t smell!”
She did go into heat on Thursday. Yeah, we haven’t had her spayed yet. We were going to at the end of August when Chris is on vacation but I guess we’ll have to wait until mid to late September now. I wonder if the change in her hormones might have made her more gassy?
She must have been full of gas the other evening. Chris came home from work, fed her, her dinner and then took her for a walk and when he came back he said that she was farting as she walked. Not only was she farting but she was wiggling her bum around as she walked, I presume to help get the farts out. LOL I wished I’d seen that. It sounds like it was a funny sight and her farts were fairly loud so much so that Chris was looking around to see if anyone was nearby to hear them! I guess he was afraid that someone would have thought it was him.
A little while ago she was lying near me on the floor and she was passing gas in her sleep. You know – those silent but deadly ones? I had to wake her up so that she’d move away from me!
I guess I’m glad we don’t have a bull dog (they fart all the time!). At least Midnight only has gas every once in a while, maybe less than my husband does!
Now other than the farts, if they’d stop running those darn acne products commercials repeatedly all day I’d be happy. I think I can probably recite two or three of them word for word by now.
Oh my goodness! That had me laughing.h
LOL well I’m glad I gave you a laugh.
I can’t believe she’s still farting! She’s also very tired today. Chris took her out on three very long walks and I guess that wiped her out so she’s been laying around sleeping and uh … farting.
I think I’m going to need a gas mask soon!
Something which will help (used with success with my (late) dog, when she had this problem years ago) are carbon biscuits, which absorb the farts, odor and all. Look for Friskies or Winalot “Shapes”, which have BLACK biscuits amongst them.
You didn’t feed it Beano, did you? lol

Haha, that did bring a smile to my face. I have a staffie and he farts all the time, very stinky, the funniest is when he wakes himself up and then looks around as if to say “who was that?”.
Wouldn’t change them though would you!
Your post made me laugh! I have a yellow lab, and she occasionally gets gassy, but my beagle/bird dog mix is the worst! Of course the lab eats lamb/rice dog food, and the beagle mix does too, but she also eats anything else she can find. I live in the country and I don’t even want to think about the things she has consumed. Bleh. I think she’s part goat. BTW, I do think Midnight’s hormones probably made her gassy.
