if shes still going to the loo regularly dnt worry too much. I wouldbt give milk either it will upset the stomach just give her a little bit more water than usual may be her stomach was upset by eating the grass . if shes otherwise ok and eating and drinking normally try and not worry if you are concerned at all have a word with your vet

If Bella is passing stools then I wouldn't worry. It can depend a lot on what they eat as to how dry the stools are. The farting is down to diet, have you changed anything recently ?

That sound more like something is obstructing than constipation. How many times a day is she going? What is the consistency? Sorry for so many gross questions.

agree with Rachel, constipation would usually be a big dry block strained out. you can try a spoonfull of olive or salmon on oil on the kibble to try jiggle things along. best not to wait to long with constipation though, couple of days max and then a trip to the vets. it can cause quite a few complications and im not a usual advocate of running straight to the vet.
