I do have one question for you though. She was spayed on Monday, and threw up constantly for the next 2 days. It was really scary. The Vet thought it was the antibiotic and switched it.On the advice of Wylie's Mom, I gave her mashed potato to absorb the stomach acids. This was the first thing she kept down in days. I also started her on the raw, on the advice of the local pet store that stocks the better grades of food. For the past few days, I have been mixing half a raw medallion with the mashed potato, so as not to shock her little tummy.
However, last night after dinner, she threw up for the first time in days. Could this be because of the introduction to the raw diet? She is otherwise full of her usual energy and gives no indication of feeling sick.
Sorry this was so long,
Lauren  | some dogs are more sensitive to change than others. I never had problems switching Lacy cold turkey to raw..but it might take a few days for her stomach to become accustomed to a new food
