This sounds more like Irritable Bowel Syndrome, which is a group of varying digestive symptoms, rather than IBD (Inflammatory Bowel Disease) that involves symptoms related to inflammation and tissue damage. To help support your dog with these symptoms will first involve a diet change. I will assume from the symptoms you mentioned in your question that your dog is fed a dry, kibble diet. Consider changing your dog's diet to one comprised of whole foods and this can be home-prepared or using a premix to which you add your own meat. We offer suggestions in our article How to Feed Your Dog. Next, add in our Daily Multi Plus that provides digestive enzymes and probiotics to improve digestion of food and the health of the digestive tract. Next, consider our Constipation Relief that provides a formula that includes soluble fibers to lubricate and soothe the digestive tract.
