Out of the Blue

I mentioned my near-miss run-in with the doggie puke the other day. Turns out this was not an isolated incident, as this morning Hudson the wonder dog again demonstrated the miracle of reverse peristalsis. I don't think she's actually sick as much as it looks like she's not reacting well to a recent change in her dry food. You see the last time I was at the petatorium, I accidentally picked out the wrong variety, which seems to be upsetting her tummy, the Alanis-style irony here is that the offending food is this oatmeal based food intended for sensitive stomachs (seriously). Sometimes you just can't win.

My vet too has cautioned me about switching foods on my two cats. The first time I did (from kitten food to adult cat food) it took 3 weeks to change them over. The next time I did it (from adult food to diet adult food) I changed over immediately because I was out of the high-calorie stuff. Fortunately, they seemed to suffer no side effects in the litter box or outside it.

HOWEVER, I have discovered that this same phenomenon affects people -- specifically me -- as well. I recently traveled to Thailand and was very cautious about what I ate or drank to prevent problem. Alas, it did no good as simply the different food and climate did in my digestive system. It settled down after about 5 days and I was fine.

Of course, when I returned to the US this week I had to go through the same adjustment all over again.

If someone could only switch over MY food slowly...
