[rawfeeding] pup not eating

Hey All,
I am writing this for a friend of mine who just got a shelter,
sheltie mix pup about 3-4 months old. I gave her all types of reading
material, websites, the PDF book by Tom Lonsdale – works wonder… she
is trying to feed raw and is having a bit of a problem, and I wanted
to see what you all thought.
She got the pup on Friday, the pup was wormed on Friday from the
shelter. And as of right now and as of what we know of, the pup has
never had a vaccine.
Friday/Dinner time – first RAW meal, chicken tenders, no bone or
skin, the pup carried it around, gnawed on it and then finally ate
it.
Saturday/Breakfast time- chicken tenders, the pup ate it.
Lunch time – chicken tenders, pup ate.
Dinner – same thing, pup ate it.
Sunday/Breakfast – same thing, the pup ate it.
Lunch – chicken breast – bone and skin, the pup wasn't sure what to
do, then finally ate it. She did cut the chicken breast in half
because they were really big portions, even the half was pretty big.
**About 4 -5 hours later, the pup threw up-didn't look like meat or
anything. And then a few hours later, the pup threw up, but just a
little liquid came up.
Dinner – Half of a chicken breast didn't want to eat.
Monday/Breakfast – gave her half of a chicken breast, didn't want to
eat, turned her nose up.

And what she does is gives the pup its raw meal, waits 15-20 minutes
and if the pup hasn't eaten, she takes it away and tries in about a
half an hour or so, but the pup doesn't seem interested in eating.

In the mean time, I am going to do a search in the archives, but was
wondering if she is doing something wrong? Or if anyone has any
suggestions?
It's very much appreciated.
