Last night I gave the dog half of a pigs foot(1st time she ever had pig foot) along w/ some chicken gizzards for dinner. She just couldnt seem to settle down after like 8pm. She was very antsy and would lay down then get right back up pranced around the living room and just couldn't seem to relax. She has never acted that way after eating anything and I kinda thought it was wierd. So I was wondering if anyone has ever had something similar to this happen when their dog ate something new. With that being said she has had pork before(ribs and pork loin) so I find it hard to think it being the pork protien, but her behavior was out of the norm. During one of her prancing back and forth moments I thought well maybe she has to go out so my daughter let her out and she didnt go to the bathroom she just ran around in circles then rolled on the ground. It was strange. She let her back in and still couldnt settle so I let her out and she ran around acting wierd then did go pee so I have no idea why she acted the way she did. This morning she has been fine. Just wondering if maybe once the foot digested something in it made her super energized? Any thoughts would be great, becasue not sure if I want to give them to her again.

Maybe she really liked the pigs foot and was really excited about it! :wink:

I don't know. pigs feet are something I've never fed my dogs, they don't look trust worthy in my opinion. Could be they were brined in something before being packaged.

All of ours have been that way A LOT since being on raw, unless they really get a lot of outside play time. I think it is the fact that the raw is so much better for them, they in turn feel better and have more energy. They do seem to need more time to run and play. I think its good, because I love to see them feeling good.

Mine get crazy over lung - they run all over and pounce like puppies. We give raw pigs feet to puppies for chewies and they love them. It's hard to tell with puppies if they get crazy or not they are always kinds of crazy. LOL

yeah I was wondering the same thing about them whiteleo.....of course I didn't think that until after she ate it and was acting very strange. Her energy levels have been pretty much the same since starting on raw....she always has a ton of it :) But this behavior was out of her norm so that was why I was curious if anyone else had their dog act wierd ever. Thanks for the replies. Liz ....lol yes they just do seem to have lots of energy and are crazy.....all in a great way of course :)

Max was super happy after dinner last night, that is completely different from not being able to settle down. He was rubbing his face all over and snorting and jumping on the furniture and staring at us. Sometimes he will bark at us, we lucked out last night. When he has had a tummy ache he walks stiff legged, asks to go out a lot, has gas, lays down and gets up and lays down again over and over again.

If she wasn't engaging with you sounds more like a tummy ache.
