Hi All
Artie has been having a lot of bowel gas lately. It seems to have increased since he had his last dental with 2 premolars extracted. He went though a tuff phase with not eating before and after the dental...but he has pretty much been consistent with his food intake for about 2 months now.
I can feel the gas in his belly. He also burps at times. I can also hear the gas when he poops.
He has also been leaving little 'presents' all around the house, even on my pillowcases...a schmear. Gross but I know it is not his fault
He is always washing his bum.
Artie has IBD and is on a lot of meds; prone to constipation.
He is on prendilosone, Pepcid, cisapride (twice daily) and miralax (1/8 tsp twice a day). He poops every 2 - 3 days--normal and a lot.
Artie has an appointment with the IBD specialist at the end of June.
He is also 12 years old.
He is eating Pride Rabbit. He is fussy and refuses all other Rabbit foods. He is allergic to chicken.
Could this be a sign of the IBD worsening? Or his getting old? I free feed him, changing the food out 2-3 times a day. He eats from 2-almost 3 cans a day.
He has also slowed down a lot since his dental/b-day, at the same time.
Any ideas?
Thanks
