My dog's gas smells like peroxide/ammonia on antibiotics. Is it normal?

Maybe your dog is suffering from a chronic gastrointestinal condition, i would recommend to have a full blood test done as well as a fecal exam in order to try to find out what could be the cause of this condition.

That is a very interesting observation. I have not had any clients mention that side effect, but most of the scents that we have are regulated by the normal yeast and bacteria on our skin and in our GI tract. If those yeast or bacterial number or types are changed by an antibiotic, it certainly could result in the body having a different scent. I would not expect any long term changes once the antibiotic is finished, but I would certainly keep an eye on it. Good luck! I hope that was helpful and answered your question.

Change his diet to boiled chicken and rice a GI formukabsince it is easy to digest. You can also add a probiotic to the food to help replenish the good, normal bacteria. If this does not help you can try gas x. If it continues then I would consider a check for parasites and blood work to make sure oral medicine is it needed

It's possible something in the diet is not setting well with her. It's also possible there is a bacterial imbalance, parasites or the wrong kind of fiber. Also, home made diets are generally difficult to balance which can lead to problems over time. For the best nutrition, I recommend to work with a veterinary nutritionist who can formula a good diet. I also recommend to rule out parasites by having Luna's stool checked. A probiotic may help. Switching her diet to a high quality, commercial diet that has all the required nutrients and required fiber may help too. I recommend Royal Canin. Best of luck.

That is unusual and it may be that the antibiotics are upsetting his tummy. I recommend to call your veterinarian and ask what they want you to do. I hope this is helpful and please feel free to post any additional questions.

We certainly can see some dogs that will take in extra air into their GI tract when they have anesthesia, but it would be very odd for that extra gas to last for 2 weeks. I think the answer partially depends on the time frame. If the gas started when you transitioned back from I/D to the regular diet, I wonder if the transition was a little too fast for Baby Girl. In general, The Honest Kitchen is a wonderful company and the digestive supplement is good for any GI upset or soft stool, but it does have some fiber in it, so if Baby Girl is sensitive to increased levels of fiber, then that could certainly cause extra gas. I think the easiest test would be to stop the Gastrointestinal Supplement for a few days and see if the gas improves. If not, then you may need to look at her diet. Good luck!
