My dog ate too much liver. He's gassy with stomach noises. Is he okay?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Chinese Shar-Pei | Male | 21 lbs

My dad sadly passed a few days ago and I’ve taken on his shar pei , he’s not been eating properly as I assume he’s confused and missing my dad. So I decided to cook some liver for him. Thinking he could eat that, I’ve given him a pack tonight and he’s really gassey and I can hear his tummy making noises ! Will he be okay as I’ve just read now, too much is bad for them! I won’t give him any more but just concerned now

I'm very sorry your dad passed, please accept my condolences for your loss. Poor Duke. I can give you a home remedy to see if that helps him. Feed him a bland diet of boiled white meat chicken (no bones) and white rice in small amounts several times a day for a couple of days. Then slowly add back in his normal diet. If the gas continues on the bland diet, he refuses to eat the bland diet, he vomits the bland diet, develops diarrhea, stops drinking water, starts vomiting water, or becomes very lethargic, he will need to see a vet right away.

My pet pooped soft,smelly and somehow sticky poo. After that he ate his dinner but after that I always his stomach gurgling. which is quiet unusual for him. for the past 3 days he's been choosy with his food. and this happened.
Poor Duke sounds like he sounds he has diarrhea and GI upset. I can give you a home remedy to see if that helps. Withhold food for 12-24 hours, then feed a bland diet of boiled white meat chicken (no bones) and white rice in small amounts several times a day for a couple of days. Then slowly add back in his normal diet. If the diarrhea continues on the bland diet, he starts vomiting food, stops drinking water, starts vomiting water, or becomes very lethargic, he will need to see a vet right away. Best of luck.

My dog has diarrhea and gas... He has a temperature of 38.1 so no fever. I was wondering what food is best to give him because I heard dry food is no good during diarrhea.
This is a great question! I can give you a home remedy for Butcher to see if that helps his diarrhea and gas. Withhold food for 12-24 hours, then feed a bland diet of boiled white meat chicken (no bones) and white rice in small amounts several times a day for a couple of days. Then slowly add back in his normal diet. If the diarrhea continues on the bland diet, he refuses to eat the bland diet, he starts vomiting food, stops drinking water, starts vomiting water, or becomes very lethargic, he will need to see a vet right away. I hope this helps!

Moses is having major gas sounds and is very tender in his stomach. I do not know if he ate something bad or what. What should I do?
These signs could be compatible with a colitis, which is an inflammation of the last part of the intestine, 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.

My dog is old and frail and his stomach is making extremely loud noises which I can hear from the other side of my room, with the tv on. He is also passing a lot air should I be worried?
It sounds like Cokey may be experiencing some gas, and his stomach could be upset. I recommend trying a bland diet of boiled white meat chicken (no bones) and white rice in small amounts several times a day for a couple of days to see if that helps. If that doesn't help with his gas or he develops other signs such as vomiting, diarrhea, anorexia, or extreme lethargy, I would take him into the vet. I hope this helps!

Poor Bruno. Feed him a bland diet of boiled white meat chicken (no bones) and white rice in small amounts several times a day for a couple of days. Then slowly add back in his normal diet. If he refuses to eat the bland diet, he vomits the bland diet, develops diarrhea, stops drinking water, starts vomiting water, or becomes very lethargic, he will need to see a vet right away. Do not give him any human medications.

My dog is acting like he has an upset tummy. He can't get comfortable, pacing, whining, belching, & has gas. He doesn't seem to be in pain so I don't feel like he needs to see a vet but something is definitely not right with him. He'll lay down next
He might have eaten something spoiled that is causing this. withhold food for 12 hours then offer him boiled boneless chicken and rice every 6 hours in small portions. if he is eating and not vomiting, continue with this diet for 2 days. After 2 days, you can put him back gradually on his normal food. If the symptoms do not resolve, take him to the vet to get treatment.

You can try feeding Duke a bland diet of boiled white meat chicken (no bones) and white rice in small amounts several times a day for a couple of days. Then slowly add back in his normal diet. If this doesn't help, have him seen by a vet.

Luna passed loose stools this morning and had been passing foul gas. Please could you suggest some remedies.
As long as she is behaving normally, you can give her tummy a rest by withholding food for 12-24 hours. Allow small amounts of water or unflavored PediaLyte. Resume feeding a bland diet in small, frequent amounts until symptoms resolve. Transition slowly to her regular diet afterwards. Symptoms to monitor for and that should be addressed by your veterinarian include vomiting, persistent diarrhea, lethargy, loss of appetite or abdominal pain. A bland diet can be made by offering plain white rice and boiled boneless/skinless chicken breasts mixed in equal amounts. Start with 1 tablespoon of food every hour and gradually increase the amount.

Poor Oso. I would withhold food tonight, then feed a bland diet of boiled white meat chicken (no bones) and white rice starting in the morning in small amounts several times a day for a couple of days.
