fuzzy_dragonfly Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 Sui's a fussy eater, she won't touch canned food and will only nibble at her VIP puppy log. She will only eat science diet and purina supercoat dry food. I just purchased some puppy mince from petbarn and she loved it. I was glad I finally found something she'd eat before the flies do! Trouble is about 1/2 hour later she threw it all up again. It's fresh roo meat, only just packed. Do you think she threw it up from eating it too fast? or is something wrong with the meat?

fuzzy_dragonfly Posted November 16, 2008 Author Share Posted November 16, 2008 Or maybe just the change in diet? Should I try feeding it in smaller amounts with her regular food? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nekhbet Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 what breed and what age? give her tiny amounts of food, roo mince is not complete. I would try something like Royal Canin or Eagle Pack. If she doesnt eat then she misses out until the next meal and so on until she gets the idea.

Your idea of letting the dog miss meals is out of touch.The breeder of Bella,our puppy with rd suggested the same.She would be dead if I had not investigated why she was so fussy and was vomiting so much.It took a caring vet who sent me to the specialist centre to uncover the cause,after seeing 2 others vets who suggested that she was just fussy and was going to be a lean dog.Thank god I trusted my instinct that something was very wrong with my darling Bella Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The OP's dog threw up ONCE after it ate a new type of food. My dog has done this when given roo meat as well. No big deal. Lots of dogs will vomit if they eat too quickly, or if they scoff their food because it's not worth chewing (eg roo mince). Sounds like your situation with Bella was quite different and ongoing, not just a once off event. Glad you have her sorted now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cockerlover Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 imo roo mince is to rich for a puppy,if shes happy with kibble then feed her that dont keep changing the diet ,it will give her an upset tummy ,try soaking the kibble in hot water adding just a smidge of vegimite .

fuzzy_dragonfly Posted November 18, 2008 Author Share Posted November 18, 2008 She's keeping it down now. I'm not concerned about the vomiting because it only happened once and my partners daughter has a show dog that's also a picky eater. I think she got too excited and scoffed it down too quickly. I'm adding a couple spoonfuls of mince with her VIP puppy log, a surprising advantage is she's eating her VIP pet food better now too. Not keen on missing a meal with a growing pup, I do it when the chihuahua's are fussy (which is almost never). I think she just ate it too quickly. I think it's roo mince I didn't ask, it just says puppy mince. I saw them packing it so I know it's fresh. I know feeding only dry food is a problem with cats, it causes kidney issues. Doesn't that happen with dogs? Geeze I feel like such a rookie, I've had animals all my life and could tell you the ins and out of a chooks backside.
