Lucy had loose stool for over 2 months, which was helped by pred but only
went away completely on a raw diet. She then got constipated this week, about 3
or 4 weeks into the raw diet. I gave her olive oil, which helped. But now
she is refusing to eat her turkey diet, raw or cooked. She seems disgusted
by it. I was a little surprised she ate it to begin with, as she always
used to refuse canned food or cooked chicken and only wanted dry food. But
she liked it at first. Now she is sick of it and will not touch it. Since it is
the only thing that controlled her diarrhea, I am a little worried about her not
eating it. I tried not giving her anything else and she did not eat for almost a
day. I finally gave her a little bit of canned turkey and rice cat food
(no other grains, but has some vegetables-- avoiding chicken because she did not
do well on it before), and she ate it yesterday morning, and a little more later
in the day. She ate a handful of EVO dry (no grains, but vegetables) as
well and wanted more, but I was afraid to give it to her. At night she had
a normal bowel movement, and none so far today. So I gave her a little
more of the canned food (after trying futilely to get her to eat her raw diet--
she refused to even look at it).
My question is this: Do you think that if she were going to get diarrhea
from the canned food and/or the EVO, do you think it would have happened
already? Do you think it is safe to offer her more of it? Any other
suggestions? I already fasted her for a day last week to get rid of
vomiting and she hardly ate day before yesterday because we were battling over
the turkey diet, so I do not really want to just not feed her in the hope she
will give in and eat it. But I also do not want to start another round of loose
stool. Any suggestions or thoughts are welcome.
I started her on nux vomica last night also.
Thanks,
Michelle
