Michon DeFrates Webboard User Reg: 12-20-2001 Posts: 21 Loc: Offline	At what age should I start fasting once a week? Heidi's been on raw- 2 small meals/day-for about 6 months. She's about 15 months now.... I kept doing two small meals/day as she seems to occasionally throw up in the morning. Maybe 'cause her stomach is empty? I've been apprehensive to try fasting her for this reason. The "fasting & immune system" thread back in Jan by Jason was very good...wondering how many of you starting fasting after that and what improvements you might have noticed after doing so.

My dog was near death from allergies and a week immune system, which of course can hurt everything. Now he's healthier than he's ever been. Acts more spirted than he did as a pup.

Michon DeFrates Webboard User Reg: 12-20-2001 Posts: 21 Loc: Offline	Well, she was spayed at 6 mos...so I guess I'll go ahead. I might give in though if she throws up....Anyone else with this problem? I don't remember reading in the other thread but, is a fast day a day of rest or exercise as usual?

Brad Gargis Webboard User Reg: 02-09-2002 Posts: 659 Loc: Offline	I do it just like any day, but my dog is a pet. He's not a working GSD. You just give it water. It will not hurt the dog, and she will not throw up. On exercising and training, perhaps someone else can help you. Once a week will not hurt things. Many dogs in the wild go more than a day without a meal, and I'm sure more than one day often times. But I wouldn't do it more than one day a week. To ease your curiousity, I've written to Jason several times before and these are some of the things he's told me to do. It's worked well. Quite a few people on the board practice this on the natural diet or without. It's natural strengthening tool for your dog's immune system in my mind.
