My 14-week-old puppy is super gassy but seems fine. What should I do?

Question

Hi. My 14 week old female puppy is having a lot of gas today, she releases about every 5-10 seconds, no discomfort and no diet change. She’s still happy playing, but the gas release sounds so horrible and uncomfortable, but again she’s not in any pain. Any advice please? Thanks.

Hi, and thanks for your question. Flatulence is often dietary related or could be an early sign of gastrointestinal inflammation. As a first approach, I would suggest to withhold food for the next 8-12 hours and then 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.
