Default problem

Raw hide can sure cause bowel upsets for many Yorks, mine get none and ...if she were mine, I would take her off her food, feed her boiled chicken and rice for a week with doses of K AM/PM...when her stool was firm, I would stop the K and still feed chicken and rice for another week..then I would slowly add a dry kibble to the c/r more each week until she is back to kibble if you want to go to just dry, but I would add veggies, meats and cottage cheese to the dry, give her a variety of foods slowly to desensitize her stomach..JMO I used to have lots of problems with this until I varied my Yorks diet...now they eat anything and never had a bowel problem...

PS..I had several who barfed and pooped non-stop if they chewed raw hides...I had to be careful...

PSS...raw hide from South America can have toxic chemicals used when tanning the hides...regs are very lax...
