Hi everyone,
I've posted several times in this forum, and a few times have been about my baby boy, Hugo (I didn't add this to my previous threads since they were about specific instances, but please let me know if this post needs to be deleted). If you've read a couple of the others, you may know by now that I've had a couple obstacles with him and his raw food journey. He and his sister (both turned 1 in April) have been eating raw food since December. He first threw up from raw food after I switched from raw chicken grinds to raw turkey. He's also thrown up from rabbit once and now last night and this morning he vomited from raw chicken grind. Now, I realize the likely problem...his stomach is super sensitive and needs more easing into raw food/new meat way slower than his sister. But if this is still the case after 5 months of eating raw, is that normal? Another concern of mine is that he vomits anywhere from 90 minutes to 6 hours after eating. Last night he vomited 4 hours after eating, today it was 6 hours after eating. That timing is pretty far into his digestion...it's not like his body is rejecting the food right away after consumption.
Last night and this morning he was fed raw chicken grind from Hare Today. This is the meat they've been eating the most since starting raw, and was the first meat they transitioned with. I will admit that prior to last night, they went a week without eating raw and were only eating their canned since I had issues with my freezer. And before that, they were eating a boneless turkey mix, so it's been a month or so since he last ate chicken. But I assumed I didn't need to ease the raw chicken back into his diet with a normal transition since he's had it so much before. Most of the time he eats raw with no problems at all. But I do notice that he has issues when he eats new food without a slow transition. But does this now mean I need to transition him when switching meats every time, regardless of if he's previously eaten it without a problem? I rotate them with mostly chicken and rabbit, but have added turkey for a few weeks
