Have you considered that the culprit might be the biscuit or the chew-eez? This is a possibiity since you say she vomits on all other foods too.

If you refuse to fast her and give her poor uspset stomach a rest, at least feed her the cottage cheese or chicken or hamburger and rice or potato mixture It won't hurt her to eat that for a couple of days and could provide immediate relief.

Bland food for ill pups. Things like Rice with chicken broth, rice with chicken, etc.

No... I didn't think of that..... Hmmmm..... For tonight We will skip the bisquit and cheww ezz, we'll see how that goes, if not I'll *attempt the fasting.

Knowing Jenny, it won't work, but than at least you guys won't all be angry that I'm "Jepordizing" my dogs health by not trying. I'm telling you now... It won't work, she'd die before she'd skip a meal.

I want you to know, I DO appreciate it.

P.S. What is that list of? (in post #29) Jen's food is on there.

It's just a list of foods manufactured by Nutro. I posted it to make the point that when claims are made that Nutro is a horrible food; no one ever bothers to mention which of their many foods they're referring to. They just say Nutro in general which is misleading to say the least!

Maybe someone can help me out here. My search engines don't seem to be turning up even one source of factual information about a Nutro recall.

Bluebird, I'm just going by what I was told by the company. I'm not sure what products of their's were affected, and I never said that Nutro was absolutely awful for your dogs. I do know that the Natural Choice Lamb & Rice, aswell as the Chicken, Rice, and Oatmeal ones were changed. Not sure of the others. Why feed it anyway though when there are much better options for around the same price or cheaper? The only reason I see is if there are absolutely no stores around someone who sold good food. Anyway, I'm sick of going on and on about foods all the time so that's all I'm going to say... everyone is entitled to their own opinion. Perhaps I should've worded my first post a bit better.

Anyway, back on topic. Jenny will be just fine if you fast her! Winston's favourite thing to do is eat and I've fasted him a few times before. He survived and didn't really seem to notice. Dogs do need to be fased sometimes...in fact, it's also good for humans to fast occasionally.

She probably wont LIKE fasting, but if you ignore her when she whines, she will give up. Mine don't like missing meals etiher, but if it means there is a chance your mother would get rid of her because she is throwing up, you really need to figure out why and if it means one day without food, she will be through it just fine.

I'm just as tired of these pointless dog food debates as everyone else. My comments were not meant to be taken personally, but in general. Sorry if it came off as personal.

Hmmmmmm! Who controls the dogfood bag, you or Jenny? Take an extra run with her to take her mind off the food. Trust me, it will hurt you more than it does Jenny for her to skip a meal!

It might do her a world of good and then who will be "mad" at you? You will, for not doing it sooner, that's who!

It will be great if you discover it was the chew-eeze instead of the food.
