Oh no poor Kinder
I'm still stumped for now, although she does do really great on chicken and rice, so I don't think it's chicken in general. I think for Alice it's more something either in most holistic kibble, or in the processing/preserving even though it's "natural". Or could be it's just too "rich" as far as protien and fat content? Luckily with her though - no vomiting at all, never has been other than the ocassional bile in the AM back when I had a hard time getting her to eat really anything when I first got her. Now, I'm thinking the Verus and Orijen that I WAS managing to get in her was maybe bothering her tummy even though poops were fine because she did have gas (on the Orijen anyway) and didn't want to eat it. Now with the chicken and rice and canned lamb that she does do really well on - she's a chow hound lol. I feel terrible if her tummy was upset that whole time and I just thought she was mearly being picky.
What test did the vet do on Kinder to diagnose the campylobacter? Was it just a fecal smear (different than a parasite check), was it sent to a lab? What other test did they run and were they all normal? I don't think she's actually sick since no vomit and everything else normal and she's fine as long as she's not eating kibble. WHY she doesn't seem able to tolerate kibble I hope I can find out, just to make sure there's nothing underlieing. Idk, it really really just seems like a sensativity to something though since she bounces right back so easily.
I'll keep your Kinder in my thoughts and pray that she recovers quickly and they find out what's going on. How's she been doing on the Fromms since she's been there and back on it? Any improvement?
