Two Key Points about Dogs Farting
Husky (Detailed Introduction)
Farting is also a normal physiological reaction for dogs and is an important indicator reflecting their digestive system issues and physical health. What problems should owners pay attention to regarding their dogs' farting?
1. Congenital or Developmental Issues
If a dog has never farted, you must pay attention. This situation often happens in puppies but can also occur in adult dogs. It is recommended to take the dog for a check-up. Puppies might have poorly developed anus or suffer from congenital imperforate anus.
2. Dog Physical Diseases
If a dog cannot fart, the abdomen may become distended and painfully uncomfortable. This is usually related to intestinal inflammation, chronic constipation, anal hemorrhoids, intussusception, intestinal obstruction, or torsion — all intestinal causes that block the gas that should be expelled from the body, causing it to remain in the abdomen.
