Raw is not bad it is just if you get a bad batch you are screwed  as my friend did of stevies and her dogs were all sick.
I do not like raw for IBD dogs though as the intestines are inflamed so the food sits in the digestive tract too long thus can cause problems like salmonella or ecoli. If a healthy digestive tract then it is fine.
If he is not throwing up over and over then you may be ok and just start transition off this food to a lower protein and lower fat food and stop everything else immediately. The fact that he is showing these signs means he is not handling this diet well as nothing else is showing up on blood work etc.
How long have you been feeding this food and did you have blood work after feeding it?
I am a believer in the best food for a dog is the one that works. |
No, he is not throwing up all over. He threw up once on Friday Morning and then was fine the rest of the day. He is more or less seems like he has a sore tummy with refusing food and then the gurgling sounds.
He did have bloodwork done after starting this food, but he had only been on it for about 2 weeks at that point. But, I think they may have only checked the things that had shown unusually high levels previously.
I'm starting to think that no food is going to work for him. I've tried 3 different things in the 5 months I've had him. (Science Diet before the Blue Buffalo and Orijen).
