Arrrggghhh! When my Spoo was about a year and a half he almost died. He lost about a third (I have forgotten exactly how much) of his body weight. He lost everything, either throwing up or out the other end with diahreah. The vet made me try every single expensive and prescribed dog food. He ended up lethargic, neither eating nor drinking, and on IV fluids at the vets. I thought I would lose him.
When I called his breeder she said she had bred three generations of her spoos on raw food. His vet thought raw was the worst. Well, I thought he was dying, and so I tried to see if he would eat a chicken leg, raw, bone and all. He not only ate it but came out of his stupor. We have never turned back and he now eats everything from chicken leg quarters, to kangaroo, to deer liver, plus fruits and vegetables.
Well, we went to a friends yesterday. She is one of those people who simply leaves her raw kibble dog food out for free feeding. When we went in I realized my spoo started eating it, so I put it up on the counter. I am so sorry I had not immediately seen it! My Spoo is now 10 years old.
Two hours later my spoo threw up all over my car! Yuck, hours of cleaning, but it is 20 degrees out and I cannot get it all cleaned up as some of it is frozen. Two days later and my dear Spoo is still laying around acting lifeless.
