I hope I can make this clear, I'll try to be brief, but give enough information to get help.
Lilly will be 2 yrs mid January. She ate Honest Kitchen Preference for over a year. With Preference, I cooked either chicken or turkey breast, then switched to (10% fat) ground beef. The switch to beef was about 3-4 months ago. Suddenly a few weeks ago, she started skipping midday meals, then when she did eat she would regurgitate, or vomit after eating.
Without going into her day by day diet, if she vomited, her next meal would consist of beef, rice, sweet potato, or just plain rice. If no vomit (or regurgitation) in 12 hours, I'd add a little HK to her next meal. Once again food came back up. On the 4th day of this we went to the vet she did X-rays to R/O a blockage. There wasn't a blockage; she chalked it up to just a sour stomach, and of course she tried to sell me their crap food.
The vet suggested that Lilly eat rice and beef for several days. When I believed everything was back to normal I reintroduced HK, once again regurgitation; came to the conclusion that the vomiting and regurgitation were directly related to the HK, so no more HK.
After researching for a new food, I went with Orijen Regional Red. A very small amount went into her rice and beef. We got up to 1/4 cup but if I increased it a small bit, her stool was almost liquid. As of yesterday she is back on rice, beef and sweet potato. I didn't log her stool during this time, it was sometimes normal sometimes soft.
Also after the first episode, Lilly started biting and/or licking her bottom. So now I'm thinking maybe she has a parasite?
Should I just bring a stool sample to the Vet tomorrow? Or should I bring her in for testing? But what kind of testing should be done?
I should also mention she was bathed and anal glands were expressed the day after the X-rays were done. The very next day she started to smell. At first she smelled like popcorn, now she stinks like dirty shoes, socks and feet! The odor is all over, but strongest at the back of her neck, not in her ears.
Again, I hope I didn't jump around too much and ya'll can make sense of what I'm trying to say.
Thank you in advance for your help.
