NV raw causing wet burp? Recently I brought home a little furbaby boy (Orion) and the breeder indicated that I should feed him Bil Jac kibble and frozen. Since I could not find any distributor that carries Bil Jac frozen, I've started to feed him NV raw. He's doing fine on NV raw. However, my little girl (Cassiopia) who also started on NV raw at the same time, been having these wet burps. Just this afternoon she threw-up a small amount of liquid (almost clear in color w/ some slight brownish color to it). Previously I was feeding her Canidate mixed with Wellness wet food. Has anyone experienced this with NV raw? |
I hope you get some answers. Olivia is on a raw grind (but not NV) and she does the same thing, a wet burp and sometimes followed by a bit of spit up. It's almost like the raw grind doesn't sit well on her stomach...? |
Yep, Cassi also has a bit of spit up with the wet burp as well. However, this afternoon was the first time anything actually came out of her mouth and landed on the floor.:rolleyes: |
Yes, Nolee has the wet burp also. I never associated it with the NV, but now that I think about it, it has been since the NV. |

I feed NV frozen raw. I started my yorkie and poodle on it about 4 months ago. I also was feeding them evo kibble and tried instinct kibble my yorkie did burp on both. My poodle can eat anything but my yorkie is very picky. So far she tolerates the chicken and rabbit NV frozen and prairie kibble very well. It has taken about 4 months to get her on something she does well with. I find that for my yorkie the frozen need not be to cold. Hope this helps |
Hmmm....I think I will try not serving it straight out of the refrigerator, maybe let it sit out for a few minutes first and see if that helps. It seems to subside an hour or so after she eats. Although it's gross, she does clean it up right away - faster than I can get a cloth and cleaner, she eats it back up. :eek: |

I feed raw to both my boys, and they've never done this burping. Is she gulping the food really fast? If so, she may be swallowing too much air, causing burping. To slow her down, someone had a great suggestion the other day - put a golfball in her dish w/ the food. |

Ok, so I've tried the dry kibble with the NV raw and she is still having the wet burp w/ some spit-up. So the following day, I just mixed some Wellness wet food w/ some of her dry kibble (the dry kibble consist of a mix of Natural Balance and Bil-Jac) and this time no NV raw for the whole day. I noticed again that she was having these wet burps w/ spit-up. Perhaps the culprit is Bil-Jac puppy food or she's having the reaction from the food from the previous day? It's so tricky trying to figure out the right diet for them, especially when they are such picky eaters. In any case, I'm going to try another day with the dry kibble mixed with wet food and of course w/out NV raw and see if she's still having the wet burp |
Okay, update on my end - from now on no raw food for my furbabies. Unfortunately it does not appear that Cassi's stomach can handle the raw food. Whereas Orion was doing well. In any case, to make a long story short, yesterday evening Cassi vomited and now I have her on plain boiled chicken and rice diet. After her meal yesterday evening with chicken & rice, she no longer has the wet burp and she did not vomit again. Fed her again with chicken & rice this morning and she's doing fine. |
Glad you found something that's working. All I can tell you is if your trying to change food, buy the smallest bag they have it or you'll end up like me with a closet full of dog food that nobody will eat. Not even the cat, and he'll eat anything. |

Good advice about buying small bags. So far I have 3-4 different types of food at home and most of them was barely touched. :rolleyes: |
Olivia likes every type of kibble that I've tried to feed her (all grain free varieties) but - her poo gets so big, stinky and often that I put her back on raw. She likes the raw too - she likes everything edible! :D |
That's great that Olivia does not have a sensitive stomach. I had to bring Cassi to the vet on Monday b/c she was still not back to her 100% self and she generally did not look well. So that's the last time I'm going to try raw. |
Awwww...well I hope she returns to good health soon! |
Thanks! They gave her some antibiotics and she's doing much better today. She's almost back to her usual playfulness. :) |
I had Cassie on NV raw for about a week or so and then the brown liquid throw up came. I took her to the vet and she told me to stop the NV raw. She was just not tolerating it well. Too bad, because she loved it and she had such little poos. I have her on The Honest Kitchen now and she likes it alot. But now lots of poos. Good Luck, Shellie :-) |

Hi Evelyn, The Honest Kitchen (THK for short) is not kibble. It is dehydrated Human Grade food and has passed inspection for Human consumption. There are no fillers or any pet grade ingredients. It is taste tested by humans. Smells great. There are 5 knds, I feed mine the Force. The girls love it. But they make lots and lots of poos. Not sure what that is about, but it is very healthy, they love it, has all the nutrition they need so I don't have to add any supplements like I did when I was home feeding. (That was a nightmare.) I measure a quarter cup of the dehydrated natural food, and hydrated it with about a quarter cup and then half a quarter cup of liquid (you can use warm water - I use chicken soup.) Mix and let set for 10 minutes. You can feed it alone or with a quarter cup of meat, or veggies or fruits etc. added. They just love it. But it is very expensive, although I only feed them both a half cup a day--(they both weigh 2 lbs each full grown, so they don't eat very much-but as I said before, they do make lots of poops. Hope this helps!!! Cheers:) Shellie |
