My dog has symptoms of an upset stomach almost all the time. He has very smelly gas, and a lot of times mucusy poo. Is that normal? He is a mini poodle.

This is not normal and could indicate a food intolerance, or infection. You can try to see if a bland diet and probiotics help to reduce the gas and mucousy poo. You can buy bland diets at the pet store (best option), or make a bland diet for him at home (boiled chicken, duck, or turkey plus potato, rice, pumpkin, etc.). If the his stools and gas improve with this diet, then it would be best to switch him to another food with different ingredients. If this doesn't help after 1-2 weeks of starting the diet, then I would be more suspicious of an infection and recommend he goes to a vet for an evaluation. I hope that helps and Pheonix gets better soon.

Hi. Yes if he is still vomiting even after the antibiotics and with a bland diet, it would be best to have him checked out. It may just be the new food that he is getting used to, but it is hard to tell. There are many things that can cause vomiting. I would recommend calling your veterinarian in the morning to schedule an appointment and they can then determine if there is any testing that may need to be done or if he just needs to be on a bland diet of it longer. Good luck

These signs (fece with mucus) could be compatible with a colitis, which is an inflammation of the last part of the colon, usually related to dietary indiscretion. As a first approach, I would suggest to 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 vomiting, lethargy or inappetence.
