    She has been gassy for a long time. It is very foul. She does not eat table scraps or human food at all. She is a very fast eater (we feed her twice a day). Her bowels are somewhat soft too. She turns 1 on Feb 6 so we are going to take her to the vet for a checkup. Any advice though on the gas?

    There is nothing wrong with giving table scraps or 'human food' (whatever that is!) - but you should be using that to train with....
