A couple of weeks ago, when I hit up the hunters in our office for
leftover game kills from last year, I actually had a co-worker come
into my office and plead with me not to feed my dogs bones, because
he used to be a vet tech and they got a pit bull in one time that had
recently died and when they opened him up for the autopsy, bones had
completely shredded his insides. Nothing was left but mush.

I asked him if the bones were raw or had been cooked, and he said he
didn't know. When I told him that raw bones didn't do that to an
animal, or the wolf would already be extinct, the conversation just
kinded petered out. I think he knew I wasn't changing my mind. Nice
to know he cares about my dogs though. :) I do too, that's why I'm
sticking with this! What really ticks me off is media sources
calling this a "fad diet" when people have been feeding this way for
decades.

I have a 7 year old Saluki that did not accept raw until she found
that there was nothing else that she will get offered. Kibble and Can
foods were out of the question. Since then her condition has improved
a lot. The only odd parts of it is she doesn't seem to eat it because
she likes it. Its more like that she has to. Also if she is fed
outside she will cover her food with sand and go. When fed indoors she
tries to do the same thing of covering the food with sand but rubs her
nose on the hard floor.

Is any of this normal?
