What are the symptoms of dog stomach gas?

The main symptoms of dog stomach gas include abdominal distension, obvious intestinal movements, and decreased appetite and spirit. Dog stomach gas may be caused by poor digestion, but it can also be caused by foreign object obstruction, intestinal obstruction, and other reasons. Therefore, if a dog's stomach is bloated for a long time, it is necessary to take the dog to the pet hospital for an ultrasound examination, determine the cause of the disease, and then treat it accordingly to avoid exacerbating the condition.

Abdominal Distension

When a dog has stomach gas, because the gas is accumulated in its tail, the excessive gas is not timely discharged, so the dog's abdomen becomes particularly swollen and will keep farting. When the owner touches it, they can also feel that the dog's stomach is swollen and hard, and even has a fluctuating sensation.

Obvious Intestinal Movements

When a dog has stomach gas, there will also be obvious intestinal movements inside its stomach, so it's occasionally possible to hear the dog's intestinal sounds. If you gently tap the dog's abdomen, a clear drum sound will be heard, similar to the sound of hitting a balloon.

Decreased Spirit and Appetite

Because stomach gas makes dogs very uncomfortable, they will also show symptoms such as lethargy, loss of appetite, and not wanting to go out for a walk. In severe cases, they may also have a raised temperature, weakness, vomiting, and abnormal behavior. Vomiting is especially likely after eating.
