Okay, we have been on Raw for about 3 weeks now, and because of prices, I have only been feeding chicken. Just haven't pulled anything else out yet.
Baby had her annual Vet appointment, (no heartworm or lyme thank goodness!) But the Vet didn't like her allergy symptoms. Eye stains, yeast infection in both ears, rust colored feet from licking, and dragging her butt around. Now, I know that she is getting enough bone, because her poo turns white quickly.
I told him what I was was feeding, and he said she could be allergic to chicken because she is getting worse.
He wanted to put her on a special kibble, (don't know the name because I didn't buy it) limited ingredients, and has potato and venison, for a food trial for one month.
I told him I needed to do some more research and would get back to him by Friday.
Can a dog be allergic to chicken? And should I just switch to her to the venison I have in my freezer to see if she starts improving?
Also, her ideal weight should be around 10 lbs, and she was 17.5 lbs, and has started losing weight since the switch, I can't imagine how much she weighed before!
I don't want to give up Raw yet, but need some input about her issues!
Thanks in advance!
