Ok, you NEED to talk to Lisa Wiser who has, sadly, a lot of experience in
gastric problems. The other thing I would consider is, go back to raw but,
stay with red meat. Some dogs have problems with Chicken.
Chicken is one of the primary ingredients in all dog foods. Just because it
says all natural or holistic does not mean healthy and does not mean that NO
dog will ever have a problem with it. Look into that. the vets, sadly, don't
really know a lot about digestive health.
Try going back to raw. The only way to know precisely what your dog is
eating is to feed it, yourself. just like the only way to know what you are
eating is to make it yourself. as close to source as possible.
As an example of digestive food info, some people are allergic to peanuts. I
am allergic to bananas. These are ordinary, healthy foods. But, some people
are always going to be allergic to something. Almost every has someone, or
SOME dog, that is going to be allergic.
Start looking into that. that would be my next avenue.

Subject: [boxer lovers] Help, what could be wrong?
Hello,
I am writing as I am confused with what is going on with our boxer. He is 2
years old and has been overall very healthy. He is only fed natural,
holistic food. We did try raw for a short period of time. Our boxer last
year started exhibiting signs of hair loss, scratching his ears and neck to
the point he was bleeding. I brought him into the vets and they ruled out
everything except maybe a food allergy. So they put him on Science Diet Z/D
dog food. He did great on it, once he was all better we tried him back on
his canidae and he started getting itchy again, vomiting a few times a week.
Also, I don't know if this has anything to do with his food problem, but
about every 3 months he has to go to the vet with some type of internal
infection. He won't eat, get up, and shakes. They put him on an antibiotic
and he gets better within a few days. Blood work has been ruled out to make
sure it isn't his kidneys, liver, etc. No idea why this keeps happening, has
happened 3 times so far. So we recently put him back on the Z/D food because
he was itchy and vomiting and I thought he was doing better, however a week
ago he started back with the itching and he vomited a few days ago. I am
just clueless as to what could be wrong with him. The vets don't seem to be
helping much and I just want my pup to be healthy and happy. They even ruled
out mange. Has this happened to anyone else or does anyone have any
guidence?
