charcoal tablets, i've never used them but someone mentioned them before I think, one of our dogs had terrible wind when we had him , hes a rescue dog, and we thought we would just have to put up with it but he stopped within a few days and has been fine since so god knows what he was being fed before, so I think diet is the main thing to look at.

If it is a temporary problem, she may have helped herself to who knows what. It should go away before long. I have no idea if the charcoal tablets will help, but anything is wort trying.

Charcoal biscuits, you can get them pretty much in any pet shop, and the good thing is the dogs think they are treats

we had an issue with Dougal when we got him first, was so bad we had to open all the windows downstairs in the middle of winter! Turns out it was the change in his diet, it went away after a wee while.

Although, if we feed him anything he's not used to we have to dig out the gas masks again. Even if he gets scraps, oh boy, look out!

Have you given her anything different to eat? I know when I gave Maggie some paddywack for the first time the next day she was puffing left right and centre and oh my lord it was lethal!
I will now know not to give her any the day before we have guests .

One of my friends dogs was blowing away like a good un yesterday. Her husband suggested puting him under her arm, shoving a tin whistle up his bum and using him as a bagpipe!

Lol
I can recommend charcoal biscuits and as Lore says the dog thinks they are treats and will eat them readily
