She started vomiting up foam in the night and pooping. (sorry if I am repeating myself to some of you), Her poop turned into what looked like raw liver and had an awful smell. Sunday night, the same thing into this morning. Took her to the Vet, a bacterial infection again, no temp, her urine was green, and blood in her stool. They gave her fluids and antibiotics again. If this happens again, they will run more tests to see if there is something else wrong with her. He told me to boil skinless chicken breast and white rice, and give her NO, yogurt, cottage cheese or any other human foods. When we got home I gave her the medicine and fixed her wet Pedigree with rice and SHE ATE IT!!! Now she wants to play.
The Bully Stick and the Dental bone are in the garbage.
Think I will put LA in a blender to make it smaller for her because I mix it with wet and she will eat the wet and leave the dry.
Pray for my Baby.

Bully sticks and the like gave my girls diarrhea really bad. They are not a healthy thing to give. They are totally loaded down in all sorts of chemicals to keep them from rotting on the shelves, but they still have expiration dates that most people ignore. I think the reason the Vet. said not to feed dairy is because it can make diarrhea worse, but is excellent food otherwise.
You may also want to reconsider feeding human food instead of dog food.
