I have fed raw a couple times before and have always ended up back on kibble. Last time i fed raw, my female (Annie) was having bloody stools. Sometimes her stool would look like nothing but blood. My boy Tucker, would have black (which the vet said was blood) stool and vomit. I started to think it was the chicken/turkey and instantly thouht allergy. But then it started happening with bison, venison and beef as well. I had fed him pork a few times and he gets canned jack mackeral quite often and never had the same effect.
A friend brought up to me that they may be having complications because they still had access to kibble. So maybe it wasn't allergies, and it was the mix of raw/kibble. I can't pick up the kibble because i live with my uncle who free feeds his 3 boxers and its imposible to keep my pups out of his kibble. Another problem that was brought to my attention was that i was feeing primarily chicken quarters. I was told that this is too much bone. The main meats i fed were chicken quarters and whole cut up turkeys. So i was wondering if some one could help me figure out the proper way to feed raw. what is the correct meat/bone ratio and how much organs do they need? Do they need fish once a week? Can they have fish more often? Is yougurt, cottage cheese and eggs a good thing to feed with a raw diet? How often should they have variety of meats? I think i need to go back to the basics on learning about raw. I'm really wanting to try raw again when my boyfriend and i move in March and I hope to have much success with it this time.
Any advice is appriciated!
Thanks in advance!
