Hi,

I have a 4 mths old pup and am currently feeding her raw for abt 2-3 weeks but I don't seem to notice much enhancement, besides no bad breath & less stool.

She was seriously ill b4 that, not eating, drinking & cud barely sit up. Even vet cudn't find out the real cause besides telling me she's viral infected & be prepared for the worst. Parvo & temper test shown -ve tho. I force fed her with lotsa glucose water to make sure she's hydrated. When she was a lil better, i fed her cooked chicken meat then switched to raw chicken meat when she'd recovered, till now.

she visited vet quite often for different illness, coughing, skin condition swollen eyelid n the last round was mentioned abv.

Recently, I often find mat on her though i brush her everyday. It also cause her lotsa pain when i try to remove matted hair. im not too sure what's considering shed alot, but i constantly find lotsa hair on my shirt n her bed (she's a Westie & suppose to shed lil)

besides that, she often chew her feet and rub her face. her right eyelid get cyst like inflammation again. cud it b due to her constant eye rubbing act?

im not too sure if its food allergy (i only feed her chicken meat & gizzards), but i heard that only happen to pup above 5 mths?

wud appreciate if anyone can advise me what to do on her condition. To me, it seems like feeding raw leads to other problem.

thanks!

Nope, only chicken atm.

From my understanding from diff resources over the net, every dog started off with chicken meat for couple of weeks, which is what im doing.

anyway, i can only find lamb or beef from supermarket, which is abt RM22/kg, way above my budget.

wont the bone be too hard for a 4 mth pup?

Rayne, thanks for your advice. My pup just admitted to hospital. Vomiting & diarrhea again, but this time round is worse, she even vomited out the glucose water that I fed her every hour. Blood test result will only be ready by tomorrow. Due to her critical condition, I can only pray & hope for the best.
