Hi, Dr. I'm sorry to bug you again with my doggy issues but I did what you said and started cooking his food. For 2 days I cooked him hamburger meat (1 1/2 pounds, both times). I put in a little endives for the vegetable and mixed in a little extra virgin olive oil. I also gave him his vitamins. Kelp, alfalfa, probiotic, fish oil. For that whole day he didn't touch his dog food. Just his water. The same happened the second day I cooked him food.

Suddenly, he starts having constant diarrhea. He went over 5 times in one day and even had accidents in the house. Sorry to get graphic. After he did that, he puked up what looked like the meat. It was disgusting and he still is going diarrhea but it's not as severe.

I put him on a full fast for 24 hours and just offered cold water. After that I gave him bland chicken and some rice. No help. He's back on his dog food but still has runny poo. What is going on? Did I do something wrong? Or is my dog just a dog prone to many illnesses?

First of all, go back and read what I wrote; give him ONLY meat, probiotic and a teaspoon of cod liver oil. The cod liver oil must be kept in the refrigerator or it will go rancid. Better yet, just give him meat for one meal, with nothing else, to see if he will take that. If he won't eat, have him examined by a vet.
