LOL don't just switch him back. That's silly to say.
It's always very silly to go back to the ground state before problems occured. More variables, more unknowns, more fun.

This is the time of year kennel cough runs more rampant ...Aspiration is highly rare with any food
Probably any condition that allows crowding be it several in a pen or kennel will do the trick due to the contagious nature of the disease. But until one sees copious amounts of mucus coming out of the nose (usually of an unpleasant color), Kennel Cough is a secondary possibility. In each dog I've had with KC, it started out as a clear discharge and changed over to extremely mucoid and copious in amount within 12-24 hrs. Concurrently they usually get a little fever at the same time.

Indeed aspiration is rare, but after reading some of the threads in the past of what people feed their dogs, it can't be discounted. If a mixture of a lot of things means meat and veggies then a foreign object causing a reflex reaction is probably remote. But add in feathers, fur, or bones, and it remains a possibility.

Oh well, time to get out of yet another religious raw thread.
