I wasn't able to take photos while making it but I'll make sure to post some other time.
My puppy got sick three weeks ago and she was vomiting white foam and lost her appetite completely. I have to force feed her with milk and mashed rice. I am totally clueless what to do and it gave me a lot of stress. First thing I've thought was to not let her dehydrate. So, I made a DIY Basic Oral Rehydration Solution as first aid.
Ingredients:
Six (6) level teaspoons of Sugar
Half (1/2) level teaspoon of Salt
One Litre of clean drinking or boiled water and then cooled - </strong>5 cupfuls (each cup about 200 ml.)
I bought her to the vet the next day. Was prescribed with the ORS for puppies, anti emetic, multivitamins and antibiotics. I was advised to observe her for 24 hrs and if it didn't stop her from vomiting, I should go back to the clinic to have her confined. Luckily, we didn't have to come back but my precious pup already lost 2 lbs and her appetite isn't back yet. So I have to do something.
<blockquote>Sorry for the long intro, it is a good info though.
By the way my dog is a mischievous 4-month old pomeranian.
My first try was feeding her with what I have in my fridge that I feel safe for her. I'm sure that rice is okay then I asked the vet if I can feed her chicken and the vet said, "Yes you can feed her meat but remove the fatty parts" (chicken skin, pork fats, etc). So, I made a porridge with shredded chicken. She loved it! It was a success and she gained her appetite again. After 2 days, i think she's already getting sick of the taste and wants a new flavor. I bought a chicken liver and added a small amount of it to her meal. Another success! After 10 days, we visited the vet for her last 5 in 1 and rabies vaccine. My vet advised me that I can serve her again the usual dog food (ex. pedigree). I did but she doesn't like it anymore.
My sister reminded me of the "Meat sawdust". Their dogs love it.
I bought it immediately and mixed it with rice. ( as a Filipino, we always eat anything with rice ). Then again it was a hit! I thought of having a variety of flavors to it afterwards. I researched of "What I should not feed dogs?" so I know what should I avoid. Then I searched for the recommended food for dogs. Now, I can say that I am ready for "my home-made dog recipe".
Ingredients:
1 carrot (medium size and chopped to small bits)
1/4 kilo of shredded corn
1 kilo of Meat Sawdust
1/4 kilo of ( ground/ minced) Pig's Lungs
Properly cook the meat and everything else by boiling it. I suggest you boil it for an hour or more to kill the germs from the meat.
Another Ingredient is:
1 carrot (minced)
1/2 kilo of shredded corn
1/2 kilo of ( ground/ minced) Pig's lungs
1 ( ground/ minced) Pig's heart
1/2 kilo of ( ground/ minced) Chicken's gizzard
The same way of cooking like the first one. Boil it.
What I did was, I let the two Home- Made Dog Food cool off before I put them in a small plastic. The amount on how you will divide it depends on how much your dog can eat. In a small plastic I section it into two, I put 10 spoonful of the one with sawdust meat then tied the plastic then I added 10 spoonful of the one with pig's heart and gizzard and tied it as well. ( Can make food for 10 days for small puppies ). I stored it in my fridge, it can last for 10 days. I have it portioned already because it's hard to divide it when it's frozen.
When you serve it, you may add more vegetables or rice if you want. I did not season it with anything but if you want, just put a very small amount of salt to taste. Just avoid the ones that are not allowed to be fed to dogs. You may also try to add more meat and try other organ meats for more tasty meal just for your bestfriend furrr ever.
Good luck.
