We started feeding our mutt a all natural diet about 2 wks ago. Not raw, but cooked. Ground veggies, egg with shell, chicken (ground bones). now she is pukeing every day, alot of eggshell is comming up. In the past the vet has said boiled rice and beef for tummy up set, but I thought I read that grains weren't good. I am compleetle "ignnent" about this subject. What should I feed her till her tummy calms down?
lord, please help me be the person my dog thinks I am
Are you feeding cooked bones??? You don't feed cooked bones, they can splinter off. If you are going to feed bones, need to be raw. I would not feed her for 24 hrs just make sure she has water to give her stomach a chance to settle.
If your going to feed an all natural diet to your dog - you have to make sure its just that. All natural to a dog means raw - animals including dogs dont have the capacity or the means by which they can cook theyre own food in the wild, ergo they didnt evolve to eat roast chicken :rolleyes: . feed them raw. This will be easier on theyre tummy and will also save you preperation time!
Check the articles on this site re natural diets - they will benefit you alot.
Hope this helps

OK, ditto the cooked food and the cooked bones . If you want to feed your dog a better diet, then go raw all the way. You don't have to give ground veggies everyday, (I've actually gone off veggies altogether) and if you do the switch, you have to add digestive enzymes and pro-biotics(non-dairy kind) for the first couple of weeks. These can be found at the vitamin store.
If your dog has been fed kibble, then he is lacking the enzymes needed for raw digestion and this needs to be re-established.
Go through the archives and there are a lot of people who advocate raw feeding and diet plans on their websites.
It is not hard at all, a little more time-consuming then scooping out a cup of kibble albeit, heck, giving your dog a whole chicken leg quarter a day is better than kibble. How hard is that? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
I don't like to see a dog vomit more than a few times in a row. . .especially not over a few days period.
When this has cleared up, buy a few good books on raw diets and follow their instructions. There is good information on raw diets here on Ed's website. . .there are also lists full of info out on the web.
We are going to go to the vet. I have since found out that what she is throwing up is the hot dog bits my 18 month daughter has been slipping her on the sly. We had a dog that had pancreatitis (that can't be how it is spelled) any way I wonder if this is the same thing. The vet will know. As far as reading the other articles, I have, and found the info to conflict with itsself. Everyone seems to have their own way to do this, some say one thing and others the other thing, and to someone who has no knowledge or experience with this subject it is hard to figgure out which person to believe is right. We were concerned about the salmonella thing. Some said they could get it some said they couldn't, and I didn't see any vet based facts on the subject. Please if I missed that let me know where to look. Thank you all for your posts
