My dog is on a raw diet, as she has always had a sensitive tum.
About a week ago, she started doing runny poos, for no obvious reason.
Then on Monday, she managed to find a big pile of waste on a walk and buggered off to eat it and wouldn't come back to me.
Since then she's been sick about 4 times.
After the first vomit, we tried starving her for 24 hours, but she threw up towards the end of the 24 hour period, despite having an empty stomach. We then gave her dinner (in case she had thrown up purely out of hunger).
Then she went back on a chicken only diet, but again was sick yesterday, so I didn't give her any dinner last night and she didn't have any breakfast this morning either.
She's just thrown up AGAIN despite being on an empty stomach.
The problem is, every time she is sick she eats up her vomit, and also because she is so hungry she is eating everything in sight, including her bed, half a tennis ball and lots of twigs (and that's just this morning).
She's not crate trained, but she has a small room which I can restrict her to - the only problem is that it has garden access via a dog door and she keeps finding sticks out there on the patio which have blown in from next door's tree.
So I am finding it almost impossible to give her a truly empty stomach.
Any ideas what to do? I'm a bit reluctant to go to the vet until I've tried all the usual home remedies first.
