vomiting and not wanting to eat suggests an inflamation in the small intestine. the kibble will aggrevate this condition.
his GI system needs to rest and heal.
i have been going through this for over 2 years and tried all different foods; she was diagnosed this past march with ibd through endoscopy.
tried iams low residue, purian ha, purina en; she couldnt tolerate any.
so i kept going back to homecooked to rest her system; and now i am trying the wellness simple solution duck and rice which is a bland diet. and if that works i will feed the duck and rice kibbles with the wet.
oh and she's on prednisone to diffuse the inflammation.
also i am using nordic omega 3, gastriplex and gastri-sooth (to heal the mucosa of the GI)
best of luck; but please dont feed kibbles this week; also when they become intolerant to a certain protein (ie lamb); they will keep having the bouts of vomiting. so u might need to switch. vets are great; but don't know too much about nutritions. even my vet admits that; that's why he's ok with me trying the wellness instead of putting her on another RX diet. |
Can you tell me more about your ground turkey and oatmeal diet? How much do you feed. Max weighs 12.3 lbs.
He had a stool this morning. It was still on the runny side but definitely more formed. He eats a few bites of kibble at a time.
