I recently got some raw bones (rib bones I think) for shadow from the butcher.
I froze them first as advised (but now im worried not for long enough) and gave one to shadow on thursday. First of all she wouldnt touch it, looked at me like "what the hell is that?" but after smelling it and licking it for a bit, she really liked it, only took her half an hour before she devoured it, Im not sure what bone it was, it was bigger than a rib bone, with quite a bit of meat on it, I believe it was pork.
Anyway, I decided to leave her a raw bone when I went to work on friday. Nit thinking I gave her half a rib cage , so it was like 6 rib bones. I know it was stupid to give her so much, my brain was obviously not turned on that day.
When I came home from work I found she'd been sick, twice, usually she tries to eat it after she's thrown it up, YUK! But this time she hadnt. Since then shes been off her normal food, she'll eat treats, or whatever im eating, but not much of her normal food. She had a spat of this about a week ago, then her appetite came back with avengance, at the time i put it down to the fact she'd just been spayed.
Do u think the reason she was sick was because I gave her too much of a new thing (the raw bones?) I havent given her any since.
Do u think this is why she may be off her food?
I dont give her anything else, no more treats than usual, and not much of my food. Thing is I feed her after I've eaten, so I put the last bite of my meal in her bowl. She'll eat that but leave the rest.
Help?
