I'd probably keep him on his regular food, and just add the pumpkin. Sometimes changing the diet can do more harm than good. The pepcid stopped the vomiting.
I was thinking the same thing...what if the new food didn't sit well with him and caused more problems. I think I'll do the process of elimination..no pun intended, and just stop the raw for a few days or so and see how he does. Thanks for the pumpkin idea.
