Kasey, our golden, eats raw, but if I give him leg quarters lots of times he throws up bile and/or has loose stools later in the day or the next morning. Don't know why, but chicken backs or breasts or necks are fine and never come back up or cause poop problems. Maybe try chicken backs and just add lean meat with them?
Also, like Connie said, that bile thing sounds just like what Kasey did if his stomach got too empty. Now I feed morning, early evening, and a little just before bed - bile vomit completely stopped.
Shaed has had the bile vomit before, as I said earlier, at the conclusion we can to then (as I'm figuring out now) is that she is being hard-headed and wants something other than what we're giving her to eat.
That and she hadn't gone to the bathroom yet(assuming). Kind of how cats are when they have to go to the bathroom and the litter box needs to be cleaned(I've had cats my whole life and most of them have done this) and they will throw up before they will "go" in the dirty litter box. Is it possible for dogs to be like a cat in this way? Just a random thought.
Ultimately I think I'm going to just give her something different (pork or beef) for a little while, maybe add a vitamin-since she dislikes her supplements-and see how things work out.
And I'll feed all the dogs 2x's a day starting tomorrow. Otto needs a pill 2x's a day anyway, and Lily needs to eat 2x's a day since she's a puppy (an 8 month old, 100lb puppy, but still a puppy nonetheless). It should be an easy routine to get into.

Keleah, I think my dog has got your picky eater beat.
I don't have the problems with vomiting and diarrhea but the list of food True won't eat is loooong....and ever-growing. This includes supplements, liquid salmon oil and Syn-Flex being the latest.
You asked about variety and mixing up the menu: IME this helps. Giving Shaed what you know she likes, on different days, makes meals a little more exciting, I guess.
More exercise helped True at one point and I suspect that his now-restricted exercise is part of the reason he's being a butt about food again.
Dogs can have food aversions and, as someone told me, you finally just have to respect that. It's a PITA and you have my complete sympathy.
Well, I fed my beasts about 45min ago. They only got half their daily meal. Shaed did eat a 13oz chicken thigh! I was very happy at this. I think I'll still need to change it up every so often, oh well. The things we do for our dogs.
Sarah, I'm glad to know I'm not the only one! lol And with the below 0 temps recently, Shaed isn't getting the one on one play time she's used to. I think that, like True, she's being a butt about her food.
