It sounds like your American Bully might be experiencing some discomfort, which could be due to a few different factors. The behavior of licking the ground and eating plants can sometimes indicate nausea or gastrointestinal upset. The loud gas and loss of appetite also suggest that there might be some digestive issues at play.

To help address these concerns at home, you might consider a few steps. First, try feeding her a bland diet for a few days, such as boiled chicken and rice, to see if her symptoms improve. This can help settle her stomach and reduce gas. Additionally, ensure that the plants she is eating are not toxic to dogs, as some plants can cause gastrointestinal upset or more serious issues.

It's also important to make sure she is drinking enough water, as dehydration can worsen gastrointestinal symptoms. Keep an eye on her behavior and note any changes. If she continues to seem anxious or uncomfortable, it might be worth considering if there are any environmental changes or stressors affecting her.

If you suspect she might be pregnant, this could also explain some of her behavior changes. You might want to consider a veterinary check-up to confirm pregnancy and ensure she receives the appropriate care.

If her symptoms persist or worsen, especially the coughing and loss of appetite, it would be wise to consult with a veterinarian to rule out any underlying health issues. If you have any further questions, please feel free to ask. Thank you.
