Instructions
Provide the dog with fresh water to flush out his intestinal tract. This will help alleviate constipation if that is the cause of the churning stomach. Do not do this within one hour of feeding, however, because it will dilute the digestive juices in your dog's stomach. Vegetables high in fiber also relieve constipation by helping the dog have solid bowel movements.
Give the dog an over-the-counter gas-relieving product containing simethicone, such as Mylanta Gas, if your dog burps or breaks wind repeatedly.
Feed your dog two to three small meals per day, as opposed to a single large meal, to prevent its stomach from being dilated with gas.
Examine your dog's behavior for abnormalities. If he is attempting to vomit unsuccessfully every 5 to 30 minutes, has a hunched-up back, tightened stomach or restless appearance, your dog may be bloated and must receive veterinary attention immediately. This condition is potentially life-threatening.
How to Help a Dog's Churning Stomach
No dog owner enjoys seeing her pet in pain. The most common ailments for dogs are related to the stomach. Dogs have sensitive stomachs that make them susceptible to a wide variety of conditions, including gas, indigestion and bloating. In addition to causing distress for both you and your dog, stomach pain can be a sign of a serious problem. Consequently, it is important to know how to mitigate minor pains and recognize potentially life-threatening stomach-related conditions.
