Vomiting - Raw food
Submitted by Vanize on October 16, 2011 - 3:18pmHello All,
Piper has some allergies that are getting a little worse. Nothing major. Then I visited a pet nutritionist this week, and she recommended switching her dry food from Blue Wilderness to Now!, which is doesn't have too much protein, that according to her could cause allergies and bowed legs in English bulldogs.
She also recommended that I put Piper on raw food in the AM, and dry in the PM.
So yesterday we started on raw. Primal Chicken. She had 1 pattie in the AM. During the day, she vomited many times.. mostly water. In the PM she ate all her usual PM dry food.. we will start the switch to now! next week.
I called the nutritionist and she said that this could happen.. and recommeded I give her 1/2 pattie at 09:00 AM, an the other half 1 hour later. So I did. But she is still vomiting. Mostly a yellowish water.
The stools were good yesterday and today. And she is pretty active.
Should I continue giving her raw tomorrow morning?
Appreciate all comments.
Thanks
This is Piper yesterday very excited with all toys in the pet store.
raw diet
There are a handful of people on here that are very knowledgeable about the raw diets and transitioning to it from a dry kibble routine. JudyWilson and CathyandAudrey are two that I can think of off hand. If you use the search tool and look for raw diets I'm sure you can find some past threads that will have a lot of general advice and tips.
Good luck!

My swimming bully buddy!
why are you doing both?????
do one or the other not both.....it takes alot of time for a dog to digest kibble...then it does raw....this is why soem vets say to feed dry at night if feeding raw during the day....what is now a kibble or raw...are you feeding a commerical brand of raw??? and what is the name...their are so many out their i dont know the names of them all....
but i do suggest to dump the kibble...protein in raw is not the same as in kibble...in kibble your protein is coming from grains not meats....jump over to the medical side..their are always discssion of raw going on their....
