[rawfeeding] Puppy has diahrea

Hello I am new to the list and new to raw feeding - my name is Holly
and I live in Beijing China. I just brought my puppy home on
thursday and she has been on raw since - she was kibble fed before
that. She's a mini poodle and weights about 850 grams (1 1/2 lbs)
and is 6 weeks. I have been feeding her ground chicken breasts. I
tried to give her unground but she couldn't chew it and then tried
to swallow it whole and almost choked - so I am grinding for now. I
am also occasionally adding a little bit of ground eggshell - maybe
an 1/8 tsp. per feeding (and will feed her about 1/2 to 3/4 oz of
meat per feeding 3x a day.

Her first meal she ate so much - 2 oz. she seemed famished and like
there was no tomorrow. The 2nd day she started having diahrea and
then little drops of blood at the end of the diahrea. Today is
Sunday and her poop is still runny with intermittant blood at the
end of it - the blood is clear and watery - maybe a drop at the
most - and is very faint in color. Should I be doing something else
different? i started her on slippery elm - just a small sprinkle
added to only 1 of her meals per day. She always has to pee or poo
when she's awake. Otherwise is acting normal and very playful when
not napping. I took her to the vet and she said she seems healthy
and I had her stool checked and it is normal - the vet also said
that if she still has blood in her stool I shoud have it checked
for parvo and giardhia (sp?). But since she is acting normally and
not vomiting I haven't taken that step yet...I didn't mention to the
vet she was on raw.

Thanks for any and all help.

Holly Z.
