Default Stress = Gas?


I'm wondering if it is possible for stress to cause a dog to be gassy.
Guest dog insists on sleeping not more than 5 ft. away from me, and the
odoriferous emanations are quite powerful. He is getting Prozyme with
his Wellness (Whitefish and sweet potato), and I am seriously
considering adding yogurt to his diet to see if that makes any difference.

His mom didn't mention anything about the gassy stuff, so I am wondering
if it is possible that the stress of having mommy go away is
contributing to this. He seems otherwise quite happy (he's getting a
buttload of exercise here that he wasn't at home), loves us all and gets
along just fine with Khan.

got stinky butt.

She's a Boxer, though - they get gassy just for the heck of
it.

well, yes, it *is* some weird sort of breed-specific sport.
stress has a lot to do with it, though. as long as harriet
doesn't eat weird food (if there is a god, she'll never, ever
eat rabbit again) and isn't stressed, she's 100% gas-free.
