Hello, sorry to hear about Bruno. You may attach a picture if you'd like, however, the majority of times gas and abnormal stools may be associated with some form of dietary indiscretion. Meaning, they may have ate something that caused their GI tract to become upset. The signs you are describing are very mild and thus, no immediate need to see your veterinarian is warranted. However, if Bruno has any active vomiting, diarrhea, lethargy, or decreased appetite then he should be seen by his veterinarian. Other causes of GI signs may include a parasite or viral infection, inflammation of the bowel and ingestion of foreign material. Hope this helps and best of luck.
