| This happened to Daisy when she first started, could be he's eaten it too fast. She's not had a repeat since, and now eats it all fine. Like Christine said, maybe not so much rich stuff in one go might help too. Don't worry - keep the faith!! |

| I agree with Christine, together with the egg it sounds a bit rich for a dog not used to these things. Or he was being greedy and ate too fast..... Go slowly and don't introduce too many new things all at once. Some dogs can handle it, others need a bit of time to adjust. |

| I find with Lily that too much offal in one go is too rich for her. Although she isn't sick with it she gets very runny poos. I find that I feel just a little bit of offal at a number of meals through the week (meat with bone meals) that she can take it then. Agree with everyone else that maybe it was just too much offal for him. How old is he? |

| he is nearly 7 months and weighs between 12 and 13 kg. Do you thuink 200gms of offal too much? |

The general advise is 10-20% offal of the overall food intake, so 200g is fine if it is once a week or in your case spread over maybe three days. I think you give him 400g food/day, don't you? He could have even a bit more offal then. Sorry, but I have this funny image in my head, that your pup thinks 'this is great grub', waggs his tail and happily gulps down everything as quick as he can hoping for more, in the same time you're sick of worry, tearing your hair out over all this |

| I remember a post just like yours when I first started feeding my two raw coming up to 2 years ago.Dottie did exactly the same so I came on here and got some great advice from sandy. Offal with egg....power food My two have this once a week but they are veterans now and will eat anything lol If I were you I would get him eating raw Chicken/ pork / lamb with soft bone in and leave the offal for a few weeks. Don't worry about him throwing his food back up and eating it again this is undigested food that has been ate too quickly second time around he may eat it slower. Eating raw is quite exciting for them and if you are anything like me for us as well.I loved watching my 2 eating raw when I started feeding. I overfed my two terrible when I first started feeding and dottie was throwing it back up and eating it again regularly. I remember feeding dottie a whole mackeral because i thought she should eat fish lol she was 5 months old and she just swallowed it 5 mins later it landed on my carpet lol Its a learning curve and it does get easier and becomes as easy has pouring kibble into a bowel after a while. |
