:This was NOT caused by a lack of fiber. Dogs have an extremely low need for fiber. It IS serious, however, and was certainly caused by SOMETHING!

:Don't you feed veggies in the dog's diet? What exactly do you feed?

Cole gets veggies every week. The veggie mix changes every week.
This week he had one mix with carrots, beets, garlic, raw pumpkin, tomatoes,green beans and little papaya.

The other mix he had this week was a mixture of organic romaine and red lettuce, parsley, a very small amount of spinach, turnips, carrots and a little bit of pineaple and some organic ginger.

He also gets raw cider vinegar everyday.

His holistic vet reccommends giving him cranberry pills everyday.
She also recommends accidophillus or yogurt to balance out the antibiotics.

::hi all

::I have an 11 month old puupy, that I raw feed. Recently he had some urinary issues so i took him to a conventional vet. Turns out puppy had a temp of 106. he also had watery stools, a lot of white blood cells in the urine and very alkaline urine.

::They gave puupy a lot of cephazolan, but nothing changed. His stools are now formed, but bloody.

::The vet siad all of this was the result of him not getting enough fiber in his diet, and that i should return to kibble.

::Has anyone else experienced anything like this?

:: - Mireille
::p.s. i called his regular vet for a second opinion and he want to hospitalize the dog today.
