Hi,
This is Ian, Rebecca's OH just want some advice about poor old Rosie
.
We had been reading about the BARF diet and decided to take Rosie off the Science Plan Senior she was on and gave her a bowl of Chicken and Tripe with liquidised vegetables mixed in to it (following one of the receipies in the book)at 5 pm last night.
She absolutely loved it and scoffed it all down in seconds.
At about 9.30 however she started crying and and pacing up and down the room obviously in some discomfort. We tried taking her for a walk to get what ever was inside her out but without success.
At about 11.00 she was still crying and pacing and we decided to take her to the vets.
The vet diognosed gastric entoritous (sorry wrong spelling)and gave her anti biotics and something to settle her stomach
By 1am she eventually calmed down and went to sleep.
She is curled up asleeep at the bottom of the bed now recovering.
Has anyone else experianced similar problems when changing to the BARF diet?
It is possible that this is unrelated, but given the coincidence we are making the assumption that this is linked to the change in food.
Please help......should we revert to the old diet? or continue with the BARF? Is there anything we can add to the BARF patties that might make the change over easier on her stomach?
Thanks
Ian
