I've been feeding Ritz raw for almost two years. She loves all kinds of protein.
Within the past week she has been throwing up right after she eats, mainly in the evenings. It happens after eating all kinds of meat. Last night by the third time it was mainly bile.
She always wants food after she vomits.
I have been giving her baby food, and she keeps it down. And yesterday I gave her re-hydrated Stella & Chewwy's chicken and she kept that down.
I think she either eats too fast or has excess bile/acid in her stomach. Note that one time she threw up about three hours after she last ate. so sometimes it appears it might be going too long without eating. And tonight it was about eight hours in between food.
But this is a new pattern; my schedule hasn't changed--she still goes without food for about 12 hours.
So, any ideas, specifically how to get her to eat more slowly and is there a pet antacid you could suggest?
I really don't want to take her to the vets--he'll blame the raw feeding and prescribe anti-nausea medicine and an antibotic. (And I have pet insurance, so cost is not an issue.)
Thanks.
