Lol...only on raw food forums does it seem that dog poop talk is acceptable! I have two dogs one has been on raw for about 10 months the other for about 8 (I got her as a rescue). The one that has been on the longest started off great, but is recently itchy all the time! No fleas, I flea comb, bath and treat regularly (she is allergic to fleas so I am worried she is picking them up somewhere). Poor dog...she is so itchy and her skin is inflamed. I don't really want to take her to the vet who will give her a steroid shot and maybe anti-biotics. Do you think it could be food related? I haven't changed what I feed.
The other dog has never had "raw" poops. She doesn't have diarreah, just soft poop. It doesn't turn white and powdery like the other dog's. She is healthy in every other way (shiny coat, lots of energy, great muscle tone, etc.), so again I wonder if it is food related.
Generally the get turkey or chicken and I throw in beef, lamb, duck and whatever else I can get a hold of. They are supplemented with fish oil. I also feed ground veggies which I realize isn't essential, but they like them as "treats." I feed eggs and yogurt as well. For awhile, I eliminated the eggs, yogurt and veggies to see if it helped and it did not (for either dog).
Am I missing something nutritionally?
Thanks!
