I don't know ... mine don't. Some cuts of pork can have a good bit of
fat. Maybe that is it.

Pork meals may or may not produce loose stools....depends on the dog, how
much is fed, how fatty the meal is, how experienced the dog, etc.

Abnormal would be uncontrollable, explosive, watery diarrhea. There is a
difference and you would recognize it!

I can see a hungry wolf or, dog eating fruit at the base of a tree during seasonal times, but this does not give the excuse to feed it as part of their every day diet. Reality is fruit, veggies and grains are just cheap diet fillers, but not ideal for a canivore. It really has taken a long time for this light bulb to go off with me. THANK-YOU RAWFEEDERS.

Yes, you can feed more beef heart than beef flesh, you can also feed pork heart and chicken heart. All three count as red meat.Chris O
This is wonderful news. Finally found a good source close to home. However as Bill said am going to stock up, just in case.

Tracey,

While raw fed dogs are going to be healthier overall, I'm not certain how
much diet would effect the prostate gland.

Studies do show that the risk of prostatic adenocarcinoma is increased in
neutered, compared to intact male dogs, if that eases your fears!

> A quick question my S.I.L (sis in law) took her sheltie to the vet, as he
has been losing weight and drinking alot of water. The x-ray showed an
enlarged and prolapsed postrate so she is having him neutered then 4 weeks
after that he will get xrayed again because the vet said it could be cancer
(but didnt want to put the cart before the horse). So I guess my question
is, My poodle is not neutered and I dont plan on getting him neutered....So
how do raw fed dogs compare with kibble fed dogs when it come to postrate
problems? Anyone?

++++Mod note: please take discussion pertaining to neutering off list. That part is not on topic for raw feeding. +++++++++++


"seriously doubt any comparisons have been made".

Ok how about in people experiences. Before you rawfed, did any of your dogs have postrate problems compared to your rawfed dogs? I know some of you have been rawfeeding for years and years so there should be some experiences.


If there is no difference and intact dogs have more postrate problems should one not get their dog neutered?

Rawfeeding doesn't have anything to do with it....intact dogs don't have
more prostate problems. Cancer is more prevalent in neutered dogs.

Best go over to rawchat to continue this discussion!

Nancy,
Geeze it sounds like the butcher you found is pretty friendly, ask him those questions, I'm sure he'd be happy to help educate you, and then us, the general public.:)
What a great place you found there! My dogs love rabbit, my husband says bugs is gonna be mad at me, but they love it too much for me not to get it for them when I can find it.:)
Great looking out for your critters, and going out of your comfort zone, is good for us, it shows us what we are capable of, and we know we can do a whole lot more than we think we can.

>Sweetbread can also be pancreas, and thats more likely, I think.Yep, you're right, sorry about that. I forgot that there are two sources of "sweetbread". The gland ones I mentioned, and the stomach ones you mentioned. As you say, her haul is probably the pancreas. I've never eaten either, or a chitlin for that matter, so my references are usually older relatives who say "Boy, I sure wish I had a mess of sweetbread", followed by me or someone else having to ask what that was. I think they did it just to hear someone say "eewww."

With some of the heated debate in other threads about new marketing techniques, it's interesting that sweetbreads are neither bread nor sweet. I wonder if it was butchers that figured out long ago that nobody would pay money for "glands", "guts" or "offal", so found a pleasant new label for it to get it to sell, or creative rural mothers trying to get their kids to eat some of the meat parts left over from butchering day.

Since this is organ meat were talking about, I'd guess you'd have to take it slow in introducing it, and limit the portion, or just toss it in all together and let em have at it?

>My 9 # yorkie just had a loose stool, the first I have noticed today.
>Yesterday she had tilipia. No other symptoms.

Hi. I have a tilapia story with my dog. Tilapia was first fish that I tried to introduceand,she ate it fine but after 2 hours from eating,she whined and,scratched the door and rang the bell for potty and,as soon as she is out from house,she had this bright green gooey poo,and she went poo some more time.She was miserable..She had some butt-wash bath too.

After the incident, she does not like to eat Tilapia.. that is ok by me because I can offer other fish to her.

you titled "diarrhea..loose stool" but was it like green like my dog's??

If it was controlable and no accident in house,it is not diarrhea. Just add more bone to meal.

If dog is acting like mine did,better to offer plenty of water to avoid dehydration and, fasting will be good.

One loose stool in several months is no big deal. You will see

Nope, dirt has lots of air in it. Especially dirt that was scratched
up, then reheaped atop the prize. Even bad dirt (clayey and/or
compacted) is better dirt after its been aerated.

LOL ! That is quite funny. It was the same sort of thing for my dog
and his first rabbit organs. When my dog ate his first skinned
rabbit, he left the organs in a neat little blob on the ground. I
scooped them up, wrapped them in plastic, and put them in the fridge,
then forgot about them for a week or a week and a half or so. Maybe
the plastic accelerated the resulting smell. They were really
foul-smelling by the time I finally remembered them. I took them
outside with my very excited dog bouncing alongside, who could
probably smell them a mile away. He ate them right up, stink and all,
like it was a special treat. No problem afterwards. With the next
rabbit, he ate the fresh rabbit organs right along with the rest of
the rabbit, no stink required ;-) .

I try not to keep anything I defrost in the fridge tightly covered, if its
in a plastic container of any kind, I leave the lid off or the bag open. If
its Big Food that hasn't been eaten entirely, I just wrap it in a kitchen
towel when I put it back in the fridge. The meat dries out a bit, but it
doesn't slime up or get as smelly.

Yup, I have one that fits under the meat/cheese drawer in my fridge.

10a. Throwing up Water All Day!
Posted by: "temy1102" ahn.tammy@gmail.com temy1102
Date: Thu Nov 8, 2007 11:08 pm ((PST))

Last night Grover had leftovers of some tuna pieces with a turkey wing
for dinner. Today she threw up water 4 times. Once while no one was
home in the living room, once while in a car, once (a lot) at the dog
park, and just now again on the sofa. I have not fed her dinner today
because she normally eats every other day, and because I'm afraid of
her stomach being upset and making her feel worse.

I know that a very bony meal can make her hack up some bile and bone
fragments,something that's maybe happened once with her... but she's
NEVER been the type of dog to puke water before/after exercise.
Anyone else have this happen to their dog? Do you think it was her
weird hodgepodge meal last night?

We're going straight to the vet tomorrow - at this rate, with her
staph infection, her recurring wetting the bed habit, and now this,
she's turning my hair gray. I'm so worried about her!

Tammy, I myself am fairly new to raw feeding, but my approach to my
health and the health of my dogs is typically a more common sense
approach IMO. It could be something as simple as the dog as contracted
a viral and is fighting it. It could be stress built up and it is her
body letting her (and you) know it needs to slow down, rest and
recoup. It could be something more serious. Only you know your dog.
What do you do when you are throwing up? I know when I do, and am
having trouble keeping things down...I stay home, rest, keep warm and
try to eat and drink small portions until my body will accept it. As
in humans, it is possible that your dog was sick up to a week before
showing these signs. If your dog has a good immune system, she may be
ok. You may just have to ride out the storm. Ultimately the decision
is yours.

I don't take health lightly, so please don't get that impression, but
if we google ever symptom we encounter, we will absorb the worst case
scenario and usually over react. Just my 2 cents worth.

Mark, Faith & Hope

I'll try not to get too long winded....Our poor baby Finni, on July
5th, was chasing a deer at full speed and hyperextended his wrist.
This injury doesn't heal by itself...surgery was our only option. A
brutal procedure called carpal arthrodesis where the wrist joint is
fused and a plate (with 9 screws) holds it in place. During his
recovery period I wanted to do everything I could to heal him the best
I could...thats when I started researching raw feeding. He was on
antibiotics and the rash did heal up then it was gone. Now its back.
His stools were perfect in the beginning of raw now they're firm
surrounded by liquid.

Been raw since May/June and when I first switched my black lab, Zoey,
was shedding so bad I thought all her hair would fall out. I'm happy
to say that she now has the most beautiful coat I've ever seen and she
no longer has that 'dandruff' when you give her a really good
scratch. The only thing she get's besides raw (meat,bones,organs)is a
thyroid pill and a fish oil. Other dog, ShihTzu/Wheaton(or Tibetan)
mix,Sadie, doesn't shed but she looks really good too. Doesn't seem
like her hair mats as much as it used to. Keep sweeping, it will get
better! Diana
