Sickness

[Automan]

Every few months my cocker develops sickness and diarrhoea and I end up going to the vets she has a diet of boiled chicken and food from the butternut company I suspect that she may have a red meat intolerance.
Any suggestions or opinions are most welcome.

Age? Normal diet? Healthy? any weight loss or blood or mucus? Frequency?

"red meat intolerance" is, forgive me a bit of a Waitrose diagnosis. It does occur, but it is really rare and is ususally beef/lambs specific and more skin than gut. But is shouldn't really be so frequent

Try to wrack your brains and see if there is any possibly inciting cause, bin raiding? leftovers? any other signs associated? The vast majority of vomiting and diarrhoea cases I see resolve with symptomatic treatment with no specific cause being identified. I attribute most of the ones I see to having scavenged something, either different food or some other "sh1t" while out on a walk for example.
True, vomiting and diarrhoea can certainly be a sign of numerous other disease states so some diagnostics may well be warranted on the next occasion to rule out some basics.

Thanks to both of you interesting that a red meat intolerance is rare but not impossible as every time she is ill she has had red meat.
When I get to the bottom of this I will post my findings thank you once again.
