Guest EmilyAnne Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 Henry's first day home, boy did he stink the house up! Within a few hours of arriving home though, the farting situation was much better. The night of Henry's grand mal, before his seizure, I remember I had such a hard time sleeping cause he was stinking up the bedroom like you would not believe. I remember tossing and turning and thinking to myself about how I was going to have to post about it here at Greytalk in the morning. Well Herny ended up having a MASSIVE grand mal seizure that night. I am thinking he knew that seizure was coming on and was scared. Next time Henry passes a lot of gas, I am going to give him Rescue Remedy and really try to keep him calm. I am glad Henry passes a lot of gas when he is upset because it is a good indicator so that I know if he is nervous. Henry is my first hound. (He is actually greyhound/coohound) I was wondering about the rest of ya'll's greys. Do they also pass a lot of gas when they are nervous/scared?

rycezmom Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 Nope! Gus has frequently left us feeling like we should have called the Haz Mat Team with his dogfarts. He's pretty cool about it though. When he does it, he turns around and looks at his butt like "Who said dat????"

Guest savvyprchick Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 Yup! Both of mine do... but Chase more. They also both do it when we are in a different environment like at my mom's house. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreytNut Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 Oh, yes. Argus especially was the worst about this. When we were bringing him home from the kennel and he was riding in a car for the first time, DH almost ran off the road because his eyes were stinging so bad. We had to roll all the windows down. Also have noticed that they blow their coats when they're anxious, like on trips to the vet.

GreytNut Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 Shedding suddenly and profusely. Hair coming out in big fat clumps. Very, very messy.

Guest Winterwish Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 ...Well Herny ended up having a MASSIVE grand mal seizure that night. I am thinking he knew that seizure was coming on and was scared. That's really interesting. I hope Henry's doing well tonite. In general,yes,nerves causes gas, The panting may have something to do with it,in and out of air,swallowing air here and there. Or the belly gets a bit 'hyper active' from nervousness. Each can result if gas. ...When he does it, he turns around and looks at his butt like "Who said dat????" "who said dat??" -- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest KennelMom Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 Some of them do. But our staghound is -by far- the worst when it comes to stress gas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 We stopped in at the vet one morning for a pain injection for Ryan. He does not like going to the vet's office. Good things never happen to him there. Just as the tech was bending down and injecting him in his hind leg, he farted something nasty. I apologized to her. Next visit for another pain injection, she approached from the front instead -Trudy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zimsmom Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 Yes Zim does this if I leave her with someone for a sleep over. It's hard to get them to take her again due to this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BigPercyInMa Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 The poor girl at the vet's reception desk had to pull out the air freshener before because of Percy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Forgreys Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 My two girls have gas as well as my two former girls who are now at the Rainbow Bridge. Bella is the worst of all of them. She will stink up a room, and then move to another room to do the same. The whole house gets it. Her problem is the raw hides and if she eats grass. Angel very very rarely does. But Angel never eats grass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jiffer Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 Yup, passing gas is very much a nervous reaction. So is dandruff (suddenly they're just full of it!) and heavy shedding.

Guest meakah Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 Oh yes!! I will never forget when we got stuck on a never ending filling up elevator...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lothianjavert Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 Oh yes!!! The culprit of most of the nervous gas and instant flaking and shedding is Diesel. He's not normally gassy, flaky or a big shedder, but make him nervous... (his farts can clear a room if he's upset about something! ) Quote In vino veritasRachael with Rook, missing Sully, Sebau, and Diesel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Grapehound Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 Raisin gets super shed-y and flakes like crazy when she's nervous. I always think the vet is going to tell me to brush her more often or something. But at least she doesn't get gas, so now I feel better!

Guest greycious_gal Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 Well, we don't have technicolor toots too often here, but... When we do have tooting goin' on, we've been able to predict the cause. Most of the time someone has to 'fess up to a human goodie gone bad. And, can I tell you? It is ALWAYS with a playbow! There are NO stealthy playbows in this house...EVER! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest lvl0cmr Posted December 15, 2007 Share Posted December 15, 2007 Mine drop hair like crazy when they are scared-mainly at the vet. As far as gas goes, they don't get it when they are nervous, it is when everyone is nice and relaxed, like they know just how to ruin movie night or mommy and daddy's "cuddle time".
