This indeed is the broth of contention, but I don't believe it causes
digestive upset, although it certainly might. Unless this is in fact
causing tummy upset in your dog, the typical response (should there be
one) is itching. Which isn't to say there are no other possibilities.

I think it's odd that "minimally processed " can co-exist with added
anything, but obviously there was a loophole somewhere.

Enough for what?
What do your dogs weigh?
For what purpose are you giving the fish oil?

A useful guide might be:
Maintenance dose - 1 1000mg capsule per 30 pounds of dog
Therapeutic dose - 1 1000mg capsule per 10 or 20 pounds of dog.

Most sources say it's difficult to overdose fish oil, a few would
disagree.

I wouldn't feed premade raw...you might want to start her out on some nice
raw chicken breast tho.
I don't know why vets always recommend cooked foods....raw is much easier to
digest!

What have you been feeding previously? Has she been getting too much bone
in her diet? Or is there some reason she isn't digesting the bone...did
they give you any hint why this happened?

From: "junmollmom" <junmollmom@yahoo.com>
Our mini dachshunds have been on raw diet about a year and half.
Never had an issues until two nights ago. One of our dogs, Molly
cried when touched around stomach area. No vomiting, had an appetite,
pooped and peed fine. Our new vet( since just last week)took out one
small bone from her bottom and x-ray showed a few smaller ones still
in the end of the rectum. She was sent home with probiotic and the vet
recommended to feed her cooked food for a while. I gave samll amount
of cooked chicken brest and rice. She has not pooped since yesterday
and she is still sore and uncomfortable. Do you think I can give her
premade raw now? I feel funny about feeding cooked meat just becuase
she had an issue with bones this time. I'd appreciate your opinions.
Thank you so much.

Gluc/Chondr/MSM combined would take about four months IME to kick in.
I had to experiment for a few months until I got my girl painfree. The
arthritis info on dogaware.com was what helped me find the right
stuff. It's different for every dog. Mine is pain free with 1000mg
ester-c, 1400Gluc/1200Chondr.(forgot how much MSM), 500mg DLPA and
salmon oil daily (55lb pitbull girl).
