We did get him to the vet soon after I posted. All is well now. She said they were very full!!! It was so hot in the examining room we were in and when she expressed them the smell permeated throughout the room and I was dry heaving on it. She did offer to teach me how to do it, but I told her no thank you I would rather pay to have it done.
I wonder how long they were full for because since we had it done when he jumps up to put his paws on the window sill he lets litttle noisy spurts of gas out. I have smelled it, but I have never heard a dog pass gas before. It cracks me up.
The vet said the same thing about adding to the food that I had heard from others. Pumpkin or metamucil.... I am going to the store today to get the pumpkin because I think he may consider it a nice treat. :wub:
I have to say this site is the best place for a dog owner. My fiance and I are first timers (I had Yorkie's growing up, but was never responsible for their being healthy and it seems they don't have the health concerns that a larger dog entails) and I do not know what I would do without being able to come here to gain information about bassets.
