She has such smelly farts (really bad) whenever she gets nervous.
Like if someone, not me ’cause she trusts me, picks her up she’ll fart.
And it’s such an aweful smell, and when she go’s poop it’s always diarea and sooo soft.
We have medicine for that, but I have no idea how to do it and my Mom keeps forgetting.
We’re going to give it to her later today.

She did have worms in her poop, or whatever it’s called.
When we first got her, but they said it’d eventually go away when we gave her medicine.
She hasn’t been back to the vets yet. So we don’t know if it’s gone.
But i’m pretty sure it is.

Anyways does anyone know why her farts and poop are like that?
And why her stomach is growling?

I never payed attention to it untill now, so idk if it ever growled like that before.

And her breath smells really bad! And when I say it I meannnnn it!
She’d be licking herself from 4ft away and I can smell it.
It’s soooo gross. It’s not normal at all.

Is there any homemade healthy remedy to get rid of her bad breath?
She suffers from it too, she has to smell it more than anyone.

Annnnd!
She has troubles breathing out of her nose.
On her left nostral it always gets filled with black bugers and I have to clean it out a lot.
When she licks herself she makes weird noises sometimes, it’s weird. I think it has something to do with her breathing problems.

She had a cold when we got her, because she was in a outdoors poor shelter, it was a no kill. And they couldn’t afford a lot.
But they always had food, and they had a little heater but it hardly worked. She was there for eight long months also.

I HAVE A LOT OF QUESTIONS.
So if you could please please please answer a lot of them and help me I would appreciate it SO much!
Thanks so much!
I’m gonna talk to my mom about doing that!

She also snores sooo loud, haha it’s cute though!

And yeah of course, my mom volunteers at a few local shelters and we’ve adopted so many animals from shelters.
Mostly adult animals, not kittens or puppies.
We’ve never bought from pet stores, we don’t support them at all. Because all the breeding they do!

Background on the dogs ~ They were purchased about a week apart by a young couple who wanted a bully breed for the status and a little dog to spoil rotten. Neither dog was house trained (or actually trained at all). The pit was taken from his mother at only 5 weeks by a BYB who told the couple it would lead to better bonding with the owners.

The issues I’m having with the pit ~

~MAJOR separation anxiety.

~Constant “talking” when outside in the form of yipping, whining and screaming. The previous owners thought this was cute and reinforced the behavior.

~Being sneaky with incorrect behaviors (cat box grazing, garbage rummaging). He knows better but will wait til I am not paying attention and go check out the cat box and trash. I bought a covered cat box to try and remedy this but the pup will flip it over til the litter and feces fall out on the floor. The garbage he simply pushes the flip-lid up with his nose, grabs whatever is on top and stashes it under my desk with his pile of toys.

This dog is not at all aggressive (passed the SMARTER tests with flying colors), is a sweet natured incredibly loving animal who is so happy to be loved. It took me only 48 hours of constant work and positive reinforcement to get him house trained, he knows it’s ok to chew all his toys up but nothing else.

A few people I’ve talked to suggested a bark collar to stop the “talking” but I’m not sure of this would be a good idea with an abused dog. There were reports of the previous owner using a shock collar dialed up to 10 to get the pup to “twitch” and lose bladder control.

I expected the separation anxiety, but his is the worst I’ve ever seen.

The cat box and garbage issues are a real annoyance to me because I don’t want his breath reeking of his little “cat treats”, and the garbage issue seems as if the dog is hoarding(???) and I’m getting tired of cleaning up his stash. ;~)

We are working on socializing and are enrolled in obedience classes that begin in two weeks. I am also exploring agility training for him due to his high energy level, it would give him a “job” and a positive focus for his energy.

By the way, I am a 38 yr old college student taking my classes online through the closest college (an hour commute) so am home most of the day and take breaks to give the dogs attention.
Have tried elevating the cat box, the pup can jump about 4 feet up. ~sigh~ love him madly though. Am thinking about investing in one of those cat boxes that does the sifting a minute or so after the cat finishes her business.

I have tried crating/kenneling, but the dog freaks out if he knows I’m in the house and he’s kenneled, to the point I’m afraid he will hurt himself further trying to get out (already had a bloody mouth from him trying to chew through the wire a week or so ago when I was testing for a SOC class and didn’t want to be interrupted by the dogs). He does fine if I kennel him and then leave the house though. The pup is seriously attached and is afraid of being abandoned.

His behaviors are great except for these few issues.
Thank you ms manners!! Will go buy a spray bottle and look for the trash can you described this afternoon.
Good point about the exercise. I didn’t think to put that in. I get up every morning around 5 and take the dogs down to the river and back for their morning exercise (about 1 1/2 mile walk). I have just under an acre for a back yard and after breakfast the dogs get to go outside for bathroom duties and playtime. I built a spring pole this weekend for the pit (the mutt likes it so much I need to build a smaller version for him!! lol). I take anywhere from 30 to 90 minutes early afternoon to take the dogs out in the yard for more playtime to wear them out so I can concentrate on my PSYC class lecture via webcam mid-afternoon. In the evenings we either take another walk after dinner or play in the backyard til they are worn out and ready to settle in for the night. Also when I get frustrated or am going cross-eyed from my school work I take breaks throughout the day and take the dogs out back for a game of fetch or something while I clear my head.
