Subject: My Pup was sick...

I am so grateful I found this forum. My pup Eve, a 6 month old APBT (American Pit Bull Terrier), from one day to another started acting very sickly. She was lethargic, sleeping most of the day, not wanting to get out of bed, she didn't even want to go outside to relieve herself. When I forced her to go outside she would do her duty and want to come right back home. I feared the worst. I made an appointment with her vet getting a steep estimate of all the tests that they had to perform on her. We just got Eve and had spent a good $300 in the past 2 weeks for vaccines, vet check up, obedience classes, etc. I honestly did not have the money for these additional tests for another 2 weeks or so. I started looking in the internet and to my amazement I found this forum. I started feeding Eve Nutro Max Puppy because it was recommended to me by the pet store as being an excellent dog food. When I read all these posts my heart dropped and I immediately took her off the food. I know you are supposed to gradually switch them but I was so afraid for her that I took her off cold turkey (she did not have a bad reaction like diarrhea). I went back to the pet store and they exchanged the Nutro to Nature's Recipe (my choice). I have not completely started her on the Nature's Recipe, I have been cooking for her to restore her health and adding a little of the dog food. I am happy to report that approx 2 days later Eve was back to her old self. I do not want to say it was definitely the fault of the dog food, but if not, it is a HUGE coincidence. I had to do so much research about dog food in order to give my Eve something that was really good for her, I ran into Nature's Recipe, which has no beef, corn, or wheat, no by-products or fillers, in case she has a food allergy. Her appetite is not completely restored, she used to eat anything and everything but now she only eats once a day. I was afraid that I would get her used to human food and she wouldn't want to go back to the dog food but if it means her getting healthy again then I might have to, from now on, make all her food.
