No problem with that here. My 13 week old Rotti's have both dropped.

I really doubt this is diet related.

I thought it was weird that Zeus hadn't dropped his at about 17 weeks, but they came in, he's a Great dane, so I don't know how it is for your breed, but I'm sure there are others here who will chime in, so be patient, they will tell you how there's are doing and did. For me, raw feeding has showed me that my dogs are growing at what I call a more natural rate, slower, not so fast for their bones, so they don't have to carry too much weight too fast, for their bodies. I know they are growing fine, and at a rate that is good for them. They are smaller than danes at the dog parks, but I'm ok with that, they will catch up, and mine are way healthier:) You can tell. They have more energy and look better:) Some dane puppies around here are already full grown at 6 months, and that's not healthy. So for me, this is great. I hope that helps. More people will chime in soon.

i bought a supplement about 3 weeks or so ago that had some garlic in
it. and i have fed some garlic to my dog before, but i smelled the
garlic with his breath, so decided that a multi-supplement with garlic
in it might be good. (my dog needs some multi-supplements because of his
skin.. the supplement has some omega-fats in it.) and the supplement has
dehydrated garlic, so i think that that doesn't have that thiosulphate
thing in it? (i'm not sure.)

i don't think that garlic is bad at all unless, of course, you're
feeding raw garlic for like, every meal half a entire garlic or
something (not clove). :)

Thank you for your reply.

I know she has a lot of stress and I am sure she is worried she could
lose anything at anytime right now.

I took her to see her "papa" (my husband) and she was so excited.
Every time he walked away to smoke, she would go nuts, like she was
never going to see him again. She got pretty worked up when we had to
eventually leave to come home. I don't know that I will take her to
see him again...I am not sure it would be a benefit or a backslide on
her attachment issues. Though she would be alone a lot if I don't take
her since I spend a lot of time with hubby during the day and no one
is home during the day.

Such a dilemma...

Anyway, I know that was totally OT but I had to say it to someone. Ya
know?

Thanks again for your well wishing and thoughts for us. I did do a
search before I posted for aggression and it really didn't come up
with much. Maybe I searched wrong or something :-)

I usually have the liver frozen, but in a bit of a big chunk (big chunk
for a 17lb dog, at least)

i used to thaw it with warm water, so i guess i'll try serving it with
it being a bit more frozen. i guess the smell or the squishy-thing of
the liver grosses my dog out too or something?

anyways, thank you everyone!
