I am so sorry to hear about your yorkie passing away. I have been thinking about that, too. I would not want him to suffer. I did think about putting him down at one point the other day. For he couldn't breath at all. Once he was on sedation, he relaxed so much.
I never thought of any type of infection with the raw diet. I will have to do more research into this. We tried a few months ago and it was just a mess. It is sold frozen at a local pet shop - not the big box stores. He raises boxers and swears by it. But he is more knowledgeable should there be a problem, me? not so much. I will check on this and thanks. The reason I mention not feeding grains is due to my bichon turning pink and scratching himself until he is bleeding. He is highly allergic to just about everything. i would like to find ONE food to feed all three: the older poodle the bichon and the yorkie.
Am I fooling myself here? |
I did not mean the food would make him sick. Sorry about that. I just would never feed raw. He is prone to upper respiratory issues. Many times CT pups need to be on antibiotics. ...nothing to do with food.
I don't honestly believe that any holistic methods will repair the trachea, but I suppose herbs won't hurt. Just take a few bucks out of your handbag that you might need.
Sadly, nothing is going to fix it. You just need to learn how to best manage it.
