Puking up Yellowish bile (old post) - Page 2

Thank you all. ---------- I have no access to fresh dandelions this time of year.   I'll keep it in mind next spring.   Do you think if I freeze them for easy access it will do the same?    ------   Food. No luck to get her to eat more.  Eating its always a challenge; she has been eating about 6 cups a day.  Seems like a lot, but she has very high energy and burns it.    I feed her 8 cups a day, but rarely does she eat it all.   She eats prinia one chick & rice.  She has been on this since pregnancy and her weight and eating has been wonderful. (whole different thread).  ------  Drinking water could be it.   I have noticed she has not been drinking hardly any of the fresh water.    --------- My biggest fret is how long this has been going on.   In humans, bile is acid that can damage the digestive track and esophagus over the long term.   -------  I will also try the Pepcid  .   Cirberus takes that for her MegaE.

My dog went thorough a period of time where she threw up bile. Feeding her smaller meals three times a day helped. 

What kind of bowls do you offer water in?  The reason I ask, is because earlier this spring I replaced my dogs' plastic water bowls with coated stainless steel ones, and about two months ago I noticed my dogs did not want to drink water out of them, but they would drink like crazy out of their plastic bucket outside.  I was getting extremely frustrated because one of my dogs in particular was not drinking and was having a difficult time urinating.  I happened to read a review about a "human grade" coated stainless steel bowl that was contaminating food stored in it, so I threw away the stainless steel bowls and replaced them with plastic and the dogs are all drinking normal again.

Wow, that's a reversal on the usual 'thing' with bowls !  Time and again I've known dogs changed
from plastic, feeding bowls especially, 'cos they reacted with sore mouths or spotty chins or upset
tums;  fine when switched to metal bowls.  Never came across this 'other way around' point before;
interesting !    [Can you recall exactly what it was about the human food storage containers that was
'contaminating' ?  What was the 'coating' on them ?  I always thought 'stainless steel' was a pretty
safe option for all sorts of food presentation and storage.] 

Stainless Steele bowl that i have used for years.

Okay guys, I'll bet a two dollar bill that this is all mixed up into baloney and that the stainless steel issue being discussed is "surgical grade steel" and allergies being discussed should be in terms of body jewelry, due to the nickel content used in piercings.

Please, don't start throwing out your stainless steel feed bowls. On the other hand, I wouldn't use plastic bowls from China, they do give my cat acne.

Actually, beetree, it was an American made stainless steel bowl with an FDA compliant and E.U. certified finish.  Platinum Pets was the company that maufactured the coated stainlees steel bowls and I can assure you I spent hours researching before I bought the bowls, and also before I threw them away.  I don't make purchases that effect my dogs lightly.  In addition, my sister and I suffer from allergies associated with body jewelry with nickel content, so I do know what I am talking about.

I am now using plastic bowls from Preserve that fit very nicely in the raised diner stand, plus my dogs are now drinking normally again.  I am sure not all stainless steel bowls are a problem, but I thought I would share my experience just in case.

I just checked out your "Platinum Pets, Inc." brand, and found out why it is only your using their stainless bowls. They proclaim their process, is a unique finishing process, known only to them. So, it would seem that it is only that brand with that finish that are causing your pets a problem. 

Good research, Beetree;  so these particular bowls have had a review that they contaminate human food
stores with their 'special secret' coating; and now Northern Maiden has had her dogs react to them too.
I do hope they've been taken off the market !

WHY would they need to put any special finish over stainless steel anyway ?  [Unless they were using
inferior steel ?]

Interesting about the bowls.  I agree, why fix something that wasn't broken?   Good thing the reaction was mild for the dogs.

Side note, Rose pucked again yesterday.  Poor thing, this heat cycle is so far the worst on her (taking the longest to get to the half way point and you can tell this week she does not feel 100%)
