Another incident of not wanting breakfast for Blossom, about 6 years old but seems older as she walks slowly. At about 1:30 PM I took her for a short walk and she started to wretch and vomited bile--so the poor appetite preceded, no interest in breakfast offered about 11AM.She also seemed a bit down emotionally as usually she seems happier lying out in the sun. So this is about 5th time in a month this happened. I believe it started when I ran out of the digestive enzymes because they stopped making them. I did not find one to replace it but was giving her the Adored Beast probiotic. i did not think probiotics and enzymes were the same but an earlier discussion confused me as some were suggesting a probiotic. I had ben giving her one chicken gizzard for about 4 days, raw---I know an earlier discussion suggested more raw things. So I am back to looking for a digestive enzyme. I thought 4 leaf rover had one but they have ox bile in it. I read ox bile INCREASES bile and I do not want her to increase her bile. Are there other supplements or foods that increase bile that I might be giving her like silymarin since it is for the liver.
homeopath seems to be on vacation but thought he said i could give nux vomica so I gave this to her last time and today but after the episode. My other dogs in the past if one had upset stomach as a regular thing, I gave nux vomica for about a year and that worked. Should I give her nux daily? She is also on carbonica calcarea once a month Pancreatic Lipase test was normal last week. Potassijm was a bit high at 5.7 lowering her Na:K ratio to 26 Reticulocyts were a bit high at 148
This vomiting onset is new and wonder what questions to ask myself regarding food or supplements could be encouraging this problem. I did switch to raw primal venison/turkey/chicken with added sardines occasionally from the prior discussion where we discussed high copper. She now only gets beef or bison at supper. And is she really getting digestive enzymes from her raw food if it is HPP which changes things. i think the guy at the pet food store said they do not do the hpp for anything other than poultry. And thought he said the venison is from New Zealand and not HPP . Do not know what to believe and feel this dog is not getting a good diet, albeit it is expensive. She is still too heavy at 63 lbs. She can't seem to lose the weight. i feed her in a smaller bowl so less food goes in. I do add calcium to her food 1/4 tsp in spite of the commercial food because i do not feed her the full amount for her weight.
