Momo has always had strange bouts of gas and diarrhea, which have never been serious, all of her life. She has been having them more frequently lately but has been eating, drinking, and passing "pellets". However, her poops have been smelly, soft and abnormally shaped. So, I took her to the vet and the vet said she does not have bloat, if she did, she would not be eating or drinking. Her belly didn't have a "hollow" sound but did look a bit larger than usual. My vet said she was "Obese" and I need to stop feeding her so much so, I took her off fruits and vegetables AGAIN. I'm afraid that if I keep taking her off fruits and vegetables, she won't get enough vitamins because I've had to do this A LOT recently. She has been drinking a lot recently, I'm thinking this is because she became dehydrated after the "loose stool". Do you all think this is the correct assumption from my vet? Are the gas an diarrhea connected? Should I give her Equate Extra Strength Anti‑Gas/Simethicone Chewable Tablets Gas Relief? Should I suplament her diet with another source of vitamins like tablets/supplements/ ect.? Thank you all for your help!
