Sorry it's been so long guys, been super busy lately!!
But, Lilly is still on her raw diet and doing well. Last time I spoke to you guys Lilly was experimenting with pork. I gave her pork neck, but that didn't last long because of the hardness of the bone. I instead started using pork spare ribs, pork tenderloin, beef liver, and beef kidney. I bought a few packs of each chopped them all up, made a meat salad with it, and then portioned it all out. I fed her pork for almost a month I'd say and to me her poo was the best it's ever been. And it definitely seemed to agree with her better then chicken. Chicken was always a gamble. Her poop was never consistent unfortunately. I also tried beef, but it is just too expensive to feed every day...She also had a tilapia that I got from the market that seemed to go down well. So I think beef, fish, and maybe some rabbit will be the wild cards to throw in the mix every now and again.
But, I wanted to make sure if maybe it was just her stomach that was adjusting to eating raw in general and now she might be able to handle chicken after all. I recently bought some more chicken to see if maybe she would tolerate it better, and yet again it gave me the same results. So I think I have finally evaluated that chicken is not for her. But the question that I have is if pork is an ok staple meat to use? Everyone I tell about Lilly's raw diet always says, "I thought pork was bad for dogs?!?" I never heard this, but it kind of sparked a curiosity to see if what they said had any real validity. Let me know what you guys think!! Thanks for reading!
