[rawfeeding] Re: Proteins for dogs just starting on raw

I followed the advice I received here and have stopped all supplements
as of a few weeks ago, and have started adding whole turkey necks (2
in the last three days) to Kodie's usual fare of ground turkey.

I check her ears and paws for infection at least once a day since
she's been a problem child in that area. This morning her paws were
inflamed and we have the beginnings of an ear infection. She has NOT
gotten into anything else, the only change was the addition of the
turkey necks. We are not giving organs yet. Stools as of this morning
were normal.

She's been on raw since mid-May. I know that it can take at least
three months before the results are really apparent, but has anyone
seen anything like I'm describing? Or is it just coincidence that we
added the necks just before these infections cropped up?

Should I add the enzymes and probiotics back into her diet? They made
a huge difference when she was eating kibble, but now that she's on
raw I've been able to cut them out completely, and the itching has
only increased a little. I couldn't even lower the dose when she was
on kibble without having her go into horrible itching fits.

Thanks in advance for any advice,

Sonja Johnson
