are raw from scratching. So this week she’s started her new Raw Diet. She’s already scratching less and I was thinking this will be a big step forward...until, she’s sitting in my lap and I tasted it before I smelled it...the new Raw Farts. They’re just awful. Jeez!...there goes another one. Eyes burning, nose hairs singed, nausea creeping in.
I hope it’s worth it.

Bullie and Angus' farts were so nuclear from the day they moved to our house that when we switched to raw, we just never noticed the difference... the gag-ewww-good-thing-i-love-you-so-much one for me was when they would chew on a meaty bone, swallow it, throw it back up complete with goo, and chew on it again.

That image has been permanently etched into my brain. Thank You...I will share it with everyone at the table next dinner gathering...Thanksgiving, perhaps.

Best table talk you can mention! I’m sure everyone enjoying thanksgiving will be thinking of the exact same. Ready to explode from over eating, but the whole “it was so good and worth it” that they’d eat again after the fact. It’s relatable.

You’re doing the right thing. You will see a big difference. Are both on raw or just mini? The neck is definitely the immune system. You can also add the green smelly tripe to boost it faster. With her health pedigree you will even see that boost up a few notches. Btw, the smell is the probiotics from the raw working. It’s going to settle down once it’s back on track.

Stella and Chewy Raw Duck patties. She absolutely LOVES this food...can’t get enough. I’ll post up some progressive pics as the days and weeks go by.
So far no difference with her Mega E.

NuStock would be great for her sores. It would also counteract the smell of the bully "perfume!" [MENTION=15364]oscarmayer[/MENTION] :whistle:

That’s what I used when Jake ripped all one top paw with the lawnmower. Lost his 2 nails n web n lots of rawness. Healed great! I ordered 3 tubes! Don’t trust my anxiety loose canon...He’s Duke’s blood brother. :)

She really likes the new food and eats about 3/4 of a 6oz patty twice a day.
It's not obvious due to the different lighting when pics were taken but I see improvement already. She's scratching less for sure.
Progression pics...

Hoping she continues to improve!
