Turbo started throwing up yellow bile the past 3 nights. Strange bc he hasn't done that in a long while after I figured out that he was allergic to pumpkin. Someone also mentioned that their yorkie was allergic to fiber in general...maybe it's too much fiber in his diet. THK is pretty high, 6 something% fiber...but why is he throwing up now Maybe it was the sweet potatoes...idk. What is the right (acceptable percentage) amount of fiber? I asked the vet if THK fiber amount was ok & he said it was...
Allie throws up if she gets too hot.

Sweet potatoes aren't in the same family as pumpkins, but that doesn't mean he couldnt have developed an allergy.

I'm leaning towed home cooking because none of my 3 like the same foods. Allie has a grain allergy I'm pretty sure- she was constantly biting at her feet til I switched, and Westley has gooey eyes, but they haven't cleared up since I switched, so I'm not sure what's causing them. Noah appears to be underweight to me, but he's actually my best eater... I'm giving them another month to 6 weeks on the blue buffalo grain free and then going to home cooking if I don't see better results.
