Mike Talkington 2 Webboard User Reg: 05-25-2006 Posts: 27 Loc: Ohio Offline	2 1/2 weeks on raw and I have seen no problems until this morning, Came home from work to see that my female gsd had thrown up sometime throughout the night....So after cleaning out her kennel I fed her as usual,I thought that maybe her throwing up was because she tends to eat too fast, she was slow to eat her chix back but did so and her veggie glop then after about an hour she has now thrown up again. I did introduce a veggie glop to them this past Sunday about 1 tbl in thier morning meal, other than that I havent changed anything, I have been feeding 1.9 lbs of backs since day 1. My male is doing fine even with the glop... however he has been somewhat gassy. Suggestions appreciated Thanks Mike Heritage Acres Kennels please check your URL bbcode syntax!!! http://www.heritagegermanshepherds.com

If she is not having any of that and her temperature is normal, then I would chalk it up to a one time thing. You can withhold food for a feeding or two or give her some cooked rice and boiled skinless white meat chicken if her stomach is upset. My Lab vomits once in a while but I think it is just the way he is. He is as normal as a Lab can be. Drives me batty actually. Since it has been 2.5 weeks have you introduced any organ meat or other kinds of meat? Or is it just backs and a bit of veggies?

Are you using salmon oil or any supplements at all? I would say that you need to use some salmon or fish oil for the Omega-3's they need. Canned salmon or mackerel is good too, just be sure to rinse it well. I also use frozen whole mackerel twice a week. I just put them in cold water to thaw out and toss them on top of their meal.

I'd add the glop in small (very small) and gradual (very gradual) amounts after a day or so of no problems. But for now, just skinned backs after a little fast and keeping an eye on the dog, as Carol mentioned.

I will skip her meal tonight and go back to the backs in the morning. Mike Good plan! I wanted to mention again that while most dogs (I mean IME) are fine with all kinds of diet changes and variety, etc., I have known (and own one now) dogs whose gastrointestinal systems do best with very gradual additions to their diets. Beef is one of those things that I've seen cause a little upheaval with that kind of dog, if added suddenly, in any quantity. Eggs too, which I know seems odd, but there you go.... So with a dog who is like that (and also with any dog who has ever had a pancreas problem), I make really really slow diet changes. I also add one thing at a time when I do add ingredients. Again, I don't mean most dogs -- I mean the occasional dog whose digestion is just fussy.
