My dog has a gassy, noisy stomach but eats normally. What's wrong?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Maltese | Female | unspayed | 4 years old | 4 lbs

First of all, I want to thank you all for the continuous support and advice on being a better pet parent!Secondly, our small beans has been having problems with her tummy for two days. Her tummy is making noises and she's been a bit gassy but she eats and behaves normally. Yes dad gave her the monthly pill for deworming but hidden in piece of fresh cheese, he didn't listen to me after I told him that it wouldn't help her. Her stomach is still making noise and she farts. What should I do?

First of all thanks for your feedback! it is very nice to see you keep following and appreciating our service. Considering what you described, I think the problem may be just dietary related and I would recommend to change the diet to a more bland one. Start feeding with a bland diet based on boiled chicken and rice in small portion every 6 hours for the following 48hours. Then gradually reintroduce the normal diet over 5 days. I would definitively recommend a veterinary check up if the signs persist or you notice diarrhoea, vomiting, lethargy or inappetence. Please do not hesitate to contact us again on the forum or by requesting a consultation if you have any more questions or to discuss it any further.
