Poor Jr! It could be that he has a foreign body causing the horrible gas and little bowel movement. For example, if you gave him bones, those can easily become stuck in the GI tract, leading to little bowel movement and bad gas. Eating something rotten can also cause this. I would have him seen by a vet for this. The vet can diagnose what is causing Jr.'s bad gas and problems with passing his feces, and can discuss treatment options with you.
