Scratchy Butt...
« on: March 15, 2018, 12:44:39 PM »
My FIRST guess is the vegetable pre-mix. 
The protein Misa ate yesterday, she has had before. 
I'll eliminate the meats with added pre-mix, and go from there.

I removed the vegetable pre-mix from her diet.
As rotten as this will sound... giving her a meal of it again, to find out for sure if that was the issue. 

I'm not naming the brand, because I don't want it to seem like I am "doggin" them.

Some things work for some dogs, and others don't. Just because you have a bad reaction to something doesn't mean others will.

I agree.  That is why I didn't want to post the name.  I don't blame the company.

Meals with added vegetable pre-mix fed today. 
I'm thinking with all 3 meals having it... tomorrow should give me an answer.  ??

Maybe it's just been the anal glands being stimulated due to the new, non-kibble diet. Isn't that what they were feeding Misa?

That crossed my mind too!
Yes, she was fed kibble.
