Mistake

[Ethel]

Queen is 2 months on raw, she had few loose stools here and there, but no large problems.
Now, my mistake.
3 days ago I introduced lamb (before she was doing fine with chicken, pork, herring, beef and turkey). First I gave her small peace of lamb with her other meal. Than I made a huge MISTAKE: next meal I gave her much more lamb.
Yesterday she had diarrhea, so I gave her turkey neck and chicken legs with few sardines. The diarrhea is still present today, in her poop there are shreds of bones or it is total liquid.
What should I do?
She is hungry all the time. Please I need an advice.
And something else, I don't give her any fruit or vegetable, but yesterday I was eating a banana and I gave her one small bite. Could it upset her tummy too?
What if it continue tomorrow too?

Mine have only been on raw about 2.5 weeks now. Tux did have diarrhea during week one, and it lasted three whole days before it went away. And some of it was pure liquid. So, it can take a few days to run its course. I did not fast him or anything, I just gave him more bone heavy meals (chicken quarters only) until it went away.

Well, my dogs love bananas so i often give Rebel's thyroid medicine in banana and so Snorkels gets a piece also.

I am no expert - I think folks will probably tell you to fast for a period of time, and then just feed her chicken for a little while.

I'm sure she will be fine, it sounds like she just got a bunch of rich food all at once that she wasn't used to.

I would do only do turkey necks for a couple days, then very slowly introduce variety again. Essentially a condensed version of starting over.

Thanks for your responses and encouragement, I will try to be calm. OK, it will pass.
Maybe I will skip her breakfast - it is difficult because she wants to eat all the time, but it is worth a try.

repeat after me, your dog will get the loose stool.

just step back and punt.

personally, i don't fast my dogs, unless the runs are simply not going away and they are increasing in amount per day.

i just feed bony bony bony chicken or turkey, which is easily digestible.'

no fish, no bananas whilst you are getting her back to normal.....and don't worry so much.

there is no mistake that cannot be fixed....honest.

Well, at least you know what caused the issue, and how to fix it. It is always so frustrating to me to see kibble feeders bring their dogs in for random bouts of diarrhea from unknown reasons.

Its all a learning curve and going through these experiences IMO are necessary steps to becoming a seasoned raw feeder

Chicken backs or quarters with skin removed. Do this until poops are back to normal and then ease back into variety again. It'll be just fine!

[Ethel]

Today I gave her less food than usual - just chicken quarters and I skipped her breakfast. She pooped only once, loose, but only once.
I think she will be ok, I will listen your advice and continue slowly.
