Thanks Laurie, Gracie is used to eating twice a day and I still do that
with the raw. Yesterday she had diarehha and went fairly often. Even
this morning she woke me to go out to poo..........it was 3:oo AM

I just gave her some plain yogurt, I am grasping at straws here. I
thought it might settle her tummy.

Something else that might have stirred the pot is that yesterday my
husband removed a pile of brush and Gracie found an old marrow bone she
had stashed a while back. I found her eating it after the marrow was
gone. I smelled the bone and it stank. So this could have put off her
tummy again.

I must say hubby is concerned as I am, but I am persevering with the raw
feeding. It is tough, I am feeling the pressure of my Vet's voice in my
head to stop this and feed safe kibble!!! ( I know it is not safe, but
that voice is bugging me)

I should fast her, but she is losing weight, her collar came off her
head yesterday when I was walking her. I am concerned. She gets kind of
fenetic too when she is hungry. I feel so bad. I know you are right, and
I should just fast her. I hope I can do it today. God help me!
