• Hopefully he feels better and you don't have to go to the vet anymore….What is ID?


  • Ohh it's a canned food, I don't have it with m e now, but I think it's science diet, special for gastrointestinal problems,.. It's called I.D? The vet gave it to me to give him….


  • Oh, well hopefully he can keep it down! Best of luck to the little guy.


  • Okay first link doesn't work.
    The 2nd is from a person hawking food, his book… not research nor accurate:

    But raw food is not simple to digest… it takes some very strong chemistry to
    break down raw proteins. So, the dog's stomach will produce some large
    amounts of strong acid, thus lowering the pH level down to somewhere
    between 1 and 2!this very low pH level is much lower that
    what your stomach can produce - a human stomach generally operates
    around pH=5

    ACTUAL levels.. as pointed out, humans and dogs during digestion the same level
    http://biology.clc.uc.edu/courses/bio105/digestiv.htm

    The stomach contains hydrochloric acid (HCl) strong enough to dissolve metal (pH about 1.5 to 3, usually around 2), which kills bacteria and helps denature the proteins in our food, making them more vulnerable to attack by pepsin.


  • looks like Ayo is finally over the whole thing!!!! he is now eating about half a cup of the canned ID food, and is doing well. Thanks for all the support!!! I still have to go back to vet tomorrow for check up, but I feel ita finally over.


  • I'm so relieved and pleased for you both.


  • Glad Ayo is better!
