It could also be an allergy. For now I would stick to one protein source-chicken or lamb to see if one or the other may be causing an allergic reaction -ie:itching. Stick with one protein for a couple of weeks and then switch to the other if the itching doesn't get better. It does take days for a food allergen to completely leave the body so give it time before switching. Switching too often can also cause digestive upset. I would have the vet take a look at the ear just in case it is a full blown infection that needs antibiotics. Dogs on raw have less poo . You need to make sure your diet is a balanced one by adding offal every so often. Good luck. FYI-not all dogs do well with the raw diet but most do adjust.<br><b>References : </b><br> Detox does take a couple of weeks for some dogs. It could also be an allergy.

I would if i was you wean him off the raw food slowly and introduce a balanced dog food. now-a-days tinned or dried dog food is so good and easy, it has everything that the dog will need. Hope this helps! good luck sarah<br><b>References : </b><br> i have had dogs all my live and i have never fed them raw food! it seems like a lot of hassle and from all the symptoms you are telling us it sounds like he isn’t a happy dog.

What you need is to get ahold of a good probiotic powder supplement for dogs and sprinkle it over his food at every meal. Probiotics are basically the "good" digestive bacteria found in yogurt, but without the dairy products that can cause loose stools. I think it will help ease your dog's transition. My dogs both eat raw, and it did take a little while for their bodies to adjust, but now they are happy and extremely healthy. Don't let your family talk you out of this, raw is definitely the way to go! You can probably find probiotics at any pet store, here's some examples of what to look for: http://www.basspro.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/Product_10151_-1_10001_102516?cm_mmc=froogle-_-400-12-7-_--1-_-38-868-381-01&hvarAID=46KY&mr:trackingCode=73177859-AA85-DD11-98CA-001422107090&mr:referralID=NA http://di1.shopping.com/images/di/37/75/72/3474375a73674f524e774e667678514f647151-100x100-0-0.jpg http://leerburg.com/Photos/ProBios_01.jpg http://www.redbirdproducts.com/probiotics.jpg Good luck!<br><b>References : </b><br>Raw Feeder Definitely sounds like detox.
