Thanks so much for your ideas 🙂 I’ll look into everything that you have suggested. I don’t know if he can have sweet potato…, I just know that the new food has salmon and potato so one of them must be the culprit. also there is some flax seeds in it, but it is farther down in the list of ingredients. but sweet potato is a different thing so this looks like something i could try. what are the foods that use sweet potato Bobby, dog?
he’s had quite a lot of lamb in his life (up until he was five or so), so i don’t know whether to feed him this again (is it really better to go to novel proteins at this stage or should i be figuring out the carb – impossible to answer!)

i think i’ll try one more new food maybe and then I might have to see if I an get proseries shipped from canada. it could either be the potato or the salmon that is bothering him with this, and now i’m leaning towards the holistic select suggested by sue66b in hopes that it is the potato which is the problem.

thanks again very much for your kind responses. If anyone knows of a close American equivalent to pro series, please let me know.

basically the only things I’m fairly sure he can eat are anchovies, herring, tuna and rice. maybe he can eat kangaroo or duck etc., but then i don’t know and don’t want to experiment.

[Laura B]

this seems like an uncommon thing. I will look into the brands you are suggesting. thanks again.

thank you so much for responding! I’m sorry, I made a mistake in the title (my dog also has a sprain and I’ve been icing it through the night so I’m pretty tired). I meant to write: food with anchovies and herring but with no salmon or potato.
