I started my boxer, Boston and Frenchton on raw about 2 1/2 weeks ago from pet planet and my boxer got really sick at the end of the 2 1/2 week mark vomiting badly with diarrhea. A neurologist looked at the picture I took of one of her poops which was a burnt red color . It came out like water. He thought it was colitis. She’s on chicken and rice right now but I need to know what is best to transition her onto for life. Before the raw my boxer and Boston were on Natural Balance sweet potatoe and fish but they both had acid reflux. I’ve been looking into dehydrated , raw and homemade food. Any help would be very much appreciated.
