And then someone gets sick


And then someone gets sick. Poor LizLemon. In a panic, I immediately think I’ve done something wrong. Was the liver too rich, did I undercook the turkey, did he eat something in the yard and I didn't watch him, did he eat too much of the bone? Did I cook the bone too much? Should I have watched him better when he was eating it? Did part of it come off? Is something obstructing his system? Does he need an X-ray? If I just fed them kibbles would I be so worried? We have a regular wellness veterinary appointment today. Should I cancel? Can he receive the vaccinations if he’s sick? Will they blame the natural homemade food diet?
I couldn't keep up with his vomiting. Finally, I got him in the corral to keep him off the rug and furniture. Now the vomit at least is clearer and not so smelly and brown. Thought maybe everyone wanted breakfast. Thought he was done. He showed no interest in eating. He asked go out and now he had very loose stools but I was thankful he let me know he had to go out and something was coming out of his system so maybe no obstruction.
Then, I find out when we all went to bed last night, he took a detour to the cat side of the house and eat cat food. Well, that explains it all. He’s eaten cat food before but not since on the homemade diet. He system couldn't handle all that processed crap. The cats are still on kibbles until I can figure how to feed two different grazers a homemade diet as well. 
He ate breakfast and all seems back to normal. Phew. I didn't do anything wrong after all.
