Did I make my baby sick by feeding raw bones? This dog is so senstive to food. I have posted before about the fact that I tend to obsess over her health, but only because she gets sick so easily...and always in the middle of the night. I took her to the vet who recommended she start eating a low fat diet so he put her on Science Diet special prescription which she would not touch. I have been home feeding her for about 3 months and she does seem to get sick less on that but she is gaining alot of weight which I worry about. Anyways, tonight she seems sick again. She will not go to sleep, lays her head down and then seems to have reflux (keeps swallowing like she is regurgitating)which wakes her up. She is usually such a sound sleeper so I know something is wrong. I did give her a raw bone today which I have done before and I thought was good for them. I also gave her some of the rib meat(which I cooked which came off of the bone). It was fatty, but I tried to remove all the fat that I could. What could be wrong with her? She had not vomited or had any diarrhea but seems so uncomfortable...other than the restlessness, she seems like herself. I think it will be a long night and I am scared to go to sleep because I am not sure what is wrong with her. I know sounds like I am paranoid because nothing has really happened yet. Can dogs just have upset stomachs or plain not feel well without being really sick? I sure dont want to pay for another emergency vet visits? What should I be looking for if she was really sick? Her breathing seems okay and her heart rate seems the same. She just seems so uncomfortable.Thanks for reading this if anyone is still up this late to answer.
