Henry is much, much better! He's purring lots, eating skinless chicken breast and drinking
water and broth, and letting me dose him with slippery elm; not yet 100% up to his usual
antics but clearly well on the mend.

That was scary for us yesterday, thanks Andrea, Giselle and everybody. Amazing what a
double dose of lamb heart and a manky old cached bone can do even to fearless experienced
gobblers of whole rabbits and ox hearts! I'd say his rawfed immune system has helped him
rebound really quickly, though!

All best,

Sarah, hominid
Henry & Ivan, felidae

My rottie doesn't really liked the grilled meats, sometimes leaving it because he's been on raw since 2 months old. He's 10 months now.
Guess you'll have to see. I don't see any harm in good table scaps of filet, or chicken breast, etc.

Subject: [rawfeeding] Question on Table scraps to a raw fed dog

As I was cutting up my steak last night I thought about how much my

last Dane loved when I grilled steaks. As soon as I fired up the grill

he would follow me in and out of the house until he was given his

share. Now that I'm going raw with my new Dane puppy in a few weeks I'm

wondering if there is any down side to feeding him table scraps.

Can anyone shed some light on this for me please? Could it affect him

liking raw meats? Is there any down side or can I just give him any

meat leftovers (all meats and fowl)?

Thank you

Jay

3a. Re: Dog not digesting food

I have a couple of questions so we can get to the bottom of the
problem. First, you have a rottie mix, right? How much does she weigh
and how much have you been feeding her? When she threw up the chicken
breast was it whole or in chewed up chunks? If she swallowed the whole
thing more or less whole it probably sat around in her stomach waiting
to digest until it decided it wasn't going to work after all.

When you say she's acting constipated does that mean she's straining
when she goes poo or is she not pooing at all? Raw fed dogs have to
use more, umm. . . force to poo than ki**lefed dogs and a lot of the
time newbie owners think the dog is constipated when it isn't. Another
thing to think about is that now she's actually using the food you give
her instead of squirting it back out. After weeks of poor digestion he
body is probably using every little bit of food it can, which leaves
very little to form poo. Hope this helps some, give us some more info
and we can probably help some more.
