DVP Sweet Potato and Fish update :(

Just an update on my previous post:

http://www.pets.ca/forum/showthread.php?t=36924

Little miss Raven has completely lost interest in it and has refused to eat it for two days now. :sad:

I'm at a loss for where to go from here. She completely stopped itching after starting it two weeks ago and I was sure we'd found the perfect food for her. In addition to allergies Raven has very sensitive stomach (something new for us because our other dog has a stomach of steel...LOL) and I suspect something in the food may be upsetting her tummy given that she's refusing to eat it and also threw up after drinking water yesterday. The food contains sweet potatoes, salmon, menhaden fish, salmon oil, canola oil and flaxseed oil and I have no idea what could be upsetting her. Oddly enough, the last time I tried her on a DVP food (Potato and Duck) she lost interest in it after a few days and started throwing up after drinking water too. I'm beginning to think that there's a common ingredient in the DVP foods that is not sitting well with her. Flaxseed oil perhaps?

I'm completely out of the small bag of food we bought earlier this week and must buy something today. Does anyone have recs for a dog allergic to poultry? I suspect she may be a bit sensitive to lamb too.

Thanks so much ladies.
