- Roxie & Memphis Sammy (RIP after 13 good years)
I recently switched both of my bullies over to Nutrisca Chicken & Chickpeas food as their previous food was discountinued (Source Turkey & Peas). My younger boy, Memphis, is allergic to just about everything (according to many allergy tests) and this is one of the few foods that I've found that doesn't upset his fragile system. He's doing great on it. The problem is my girl, Roxie. She is 6 and has a cast iron stomach. Nothing has ever seemed to bother her in the past. But I've begun to notice her sitting and licking the air repeatedly along with having copious amounts of watery saliva dripping from her lips. This seems to happen about 1 1/2 - 2 hours after eating. She hasn't vomited or had any diarrhea, just this odd repeated licking and drooling. Her water intake is also normal. I know Memphis has had a lot of stomach issues in the past that had these same symptoms. A cimetidine tablet helped him tremendously. I gave her 1 cimetidine today as she just was licking and drooling everywhere. After about 20 minutes, she was fine. The only difference in this food vs. all of the others we've fed them previously in that the Nutrisca has a higher protein level. Could that be causing the problems for her stomach? Advice or should I just look for something with a lower protein content?
