I have a pitX that did the same and it turned out it was grain the was the culprit. In your bitch it could be an allergy to grain (wheat or corn most likely) but if you'd fed grain in her old diet, it could be the processing of the new feed rather than eating a raw diet. Hard to know for sure, process of elimination is what worked for me.
