It could be a food allergy... Now the fan part is trying to figure out what.

Here are a couple simple recipe he can try, BUT he has to ensure she gets NO treats or any people food, as this can help him figure out what food works best for her tummy.

For 1 whole day feed:
well cooked White Rice

If her poops are not liquid, do it for a 2nd day to see how the poops look.
KEEP NOTES

Next-
For 1 whole day feed:
cooked chicken (her body might be too weak/ill for raw meats at this time) - white or brown is fine, but NO BONES, just the meat.

If her poops are not liquid, do it for a 2nd day to see how the poops look.
KEEP NOTES

Next-
For 1 whole day feed:
cooked fish (a cheap white fish, no salmon), not from a can, but fresh or frozen fish flesh, NO BONES

If her poops are not liquid, do it for a 2nd day to see how the poops look.
KEEP NOTES

Next-
For 1 whole day feed:
cooked lean beef (hamburger)

If her poops are not liquid, do it for a 2nd day to see how the poops look.
KEEP NOTES

Next-
For 1 whole day feed:
cooked eggs (scrambled) in the microwave, or a non-stick pot, NO butter or oil, its has to be just the Eggs. If possible, grind up the egg shell as finely as possible & mix it into the raw egg before cooking. This will give her the calcium she is missing while trying these different foods.

If her poops are not liquid, do it for a 2nd day to see how the poops look.
KEEP NOTES



I would like him to try them in THIS order.
Chicken
Egg+shell
If she does well, then forget the rest for a while. If her poops look good or almost normal then stick with the above 2 ingredients for a few weeks, as her poor digestive system needs a HUGE break.

What he can also do if she is doing well with the chicken & egg, is to add cooked chicken liver & heart into the mix. Because she is a tiny breed, I would give her about 3 peas worth of chicken organ everyday.


If she is doing really well on the Chicken, egg+shell, & chicken organs, then here is a recipe he can do.

If he has a blender or a food processor (best), then he can make the below recipe.

Add cooked chicken, & cooked egg into the food processor (ratio 3:1), blend into goo, add water to help blend. You want it as thick you can get it. Take it out & set aside. Now blend just the cooked chicken organs, add a little water to help blend if needed, keep it as thick as possible. Take it out & set aside. Cook carrots, and green beans in a microwave until they are soft (or steam them.. DO NOT BOIL). Blend them in to a paste, add a little water if needed, I usually don't need to add water to the cooked veggies.

Get some Ice Cube Trays. Fill the trays (do not over flow) with the meat mixture & place into the freezer (the thawed mixture can last 3-4 days, freezing it will allow him to make a larger batch of food so he's not doing this every couple of days or wasting any food. Do the same for the cooked organ meat & the veggies.

Once frozen he can take the cubes out of the tray & store them in separate freezer bag so they don't get freezer burn. Mark the bags so he knows what is what, do not mix all 3 ingredients into the same bag.


As to how much to feed is the harder part.. but he will figure it out. But for starters lets start with 4 cubes of thawed meat per/meal. Make sure the raw Organ meat is on the very top of the food, or served before the meat, as the dog needs that organ meat in its system. Take 1 veggie cube & mix it into 4 meat cubes (everything must be thawed). Let the dog eat until its full. If the dog is still hungry after 4 cubes of meat, give it more to eat.

Now the feeding habits need to be changed. So lets start slowly, but semi aggressive. I'm going to assume the dog usually has food 24/7, or many times through out the day. That needs to stop asap. Feed the dog once every 12hrs. Let it eat as much as it wants/meal. Give the dog 60 mins to finish its meal. After 60 mins take the food away if the dog isn't currently eating it. Put it into the fridge for later use.

Keep the dog on that timely schedule for a week. Then change it from 60 mins to 30 mins & keep it at 30 mins from now on. Remember to never remove the food if the dog is currently eating it, wait until it walks away to take the food away.

Also NO TREATS!!! The dog shouldn't have access to ANY store bought treats ever again (donate what your son has to a shelter or a friend). My reasoning is because there is so much toxic junk in those treats, it might cause more issues with the dog. He can make homemade treats, once the dog is doing well in a few months.. But the treats should be real foods like cooked chicken, or cooked or raw carrots.


IF the dog is thriving for a month, then get your son to test one of the other tester ingredients for 1 day & see how the dog does. I recommend trying the fish & ignoring the rest. If the dog does well with the fish, then he can use the above recipe I gave & do the same with the fish. So one day the dog can have chicken meat & the next fish fish. Turkey & Duck should also be fine if the dog does well on the chicken.


Lets zip ahead to 6 or 8 months of good doggie poops & a healthy active pup. Because of the Pancreatitis, the dog shouldn't be eating cooked meats, as its hard to digest. Your son can use up the rest of the cooked meats & just use raw. Chicken drums have lots of meat on them & they are cheap. Give the raw chicken bone, as its very good for the dog to eat (cooked bones can be deadly so NEVER give cooked bones). You can buy small frozen fish in bags. cut them up in to a meal size portion & let the dog chow down. The cooked veggies are still important, as raw cannot be digested properly or at all). Also switch the cooked organs to raw organs.

Here is a good tip. Feed the raw meats in a locked Kennel or the bathtub. This will make clean up easier for your son. Also remember that the bacteria on the raw meats don't hurt dogs, but it can harm humans, so your son needs to make sure that he washes his hands well after handling raw meats.

When washing the kennel or the tub after a raw meal, use bleach & water.. Other chemicals can be hard on dogs & since the dog is most likely going to lick the kennel or tub clean you don't want them ingesting bad chemicals.


Hope that helps
PS. I do this for my dog, as shes deathly allergic to red meats, dairy, & shellfish. Right now shes on cooked meat (raw organ), but soon she'll be on raw meat as shes gone nearly 1yr of no deadly reactions, & hasn't had any tiny reactions to anything in the past 6 months. Nothing but healthy poops, normal looking skin, & no puking. Her digestive tract should now be fully repaired (it was bleeding BAD about 1yr ago) so she can actually handle raw meats (well the bacteria on/in them). I can't wait until we move to raw.. its sooooooo much cheaper & the healthiest food for a dog.. Remember dogs are not humans, they need raw meats.

Hopefully that helps

OH, remember that if the dog does poor on chicken, use whatever meat the dog does well on, with the above recipe I have given.
