I start to give my dog chicken wing as dinner since last night....
Today I saw his stool having some bone which is not ingested properly... that means he didn't chew properly? Today dinner, he grab the chicken wing and want to eat inside his bed...I faster carry him to the kitchen then he thought I am going to grab his chicken wing away XD ended up he almost choked by the chicken wing as he is like gulping...is it coz of the chicken wing is small? so he won't really chew on it? |

QUOTE(crazymouse_yyh @ Feb 10 2009, 11:16 PM) Some bones in stool is normal. Nothing to worry about as it is just passing out. Thanks for your advice crazymouse~ Tonite i will close the kitchen door to let him stay inside when taking his meal What you did was wrong, to carry him fast. You scared him, and made him try to gulp the chicken wing down because it thought you wanted to steal it away. Dogs are somewhat protective over food and shouldn't be frightened or threaten during mealtimes. You should feed him in a quiet place, with newspaper around as some dogs like to eat their food on covered ground. Never try to carry or snatch away the food when a dog is eating and do not sit too close to your dog coz it needs privacy when eating too. QUOTE(dongdong86 @ Feb 11 2009, 01:30 AM) chicken wing and drumstick is not advisable to give. other body parts are ok like ribs, breast, keels etc. hmm....i just thought chicken wing is good as I just started to feed my baby raw...QUOTE(Rayne @ Feb 11 2009, 09:11 AM) Are you just starting out to feed your dog a raw meal? If so, undigested bones is quite normal for beginners as they are adjusting to the new kind of food and digestion. yea...just started for 2 days...which in the morning i still giving kibbles...i know the digestion for commercial food and raw food is different, but since he still left a bit of kibbles, i will let him finish first then completely switching to raw... If you want to teach your dog to eat at one place, you could put him in an enclosure like a playpen and lay out an old towel/mat for him to eat there. If he tries to bring the food away, don't carry him back. Take the food away gently by telling him 'Give' and put back on the towel/mat for him to eat. Do that a few more times and he will remember that the towel/mat is the only place to eat. How big is your dog though? If he can swallow the whole chicken wing in one bite, then yes, the wing is too small. Feed pieces that are at least bigger than his head so that he can work and chew on it to clean his teeth more. QUOTE(dongdong86) chicken wing and drumstick is not advisable to give. other body parts are ok like ribs, breast, keels etc. I beg to differ. I feed Scottie wings and drumsticks all the time with no problems. But I do add additional meat when I'm feeding wings coz wings by itself are too boney and too much bone can make the stools crumbly. If a person is just starting out however, it's a good idea to start with easy bone-in parts, like breast and keels. After they're used to it, just start feeding the other parts of the chicken. do you mean how old is my dog? He is a male shih tzu which is 1 year 8 months+ around 5.8kg~~~ if i am going to give pieces that are bigger than his head, it could be very very big right? like that means 1 meal per day should be enough? |

QUOTE(Rayne @ Feb 11 2009, 10:02 AM) I meant how heavy or big in size is your dog.. Actually I am giving a bit of veggies and fruits to my dog as well....My dog love veggies and fruits....Are you feeding the BARF Model or the Prey Model Diet? If you're feeding the BARF Model, I probably can't help you much with it coz I feed the Prey Model diet to Scottie (which is basically just meat, bones and organs - no veggies, fruits or supplements) From your previous post, you mentioned only the chicken wing for your dog's first meal...is that all you are feeding? If so, it would be closer to the Prey Model diet. Try not to feed chicken wings by itself next time. Leave the chicken wing attached to a bigger part of the breast meat to ensure there's more meat, or just add more meat to the meal coz wings by itself is too boney. Was your dog's poo firm when he poo-ed after the first raw meal? Do you give the meat when it's still frozen? so if your dog can't finish the portion, you will put in the frozen part of the fridge? |

Rayne...actually the purpose of giving frozen meat is to avoid the germs and bacteria? am i right?
bluepuppygirl ....yeah...my dog really like all the green veggies...he likes carrot, brocolli, cucubmer, tomato etc....apple is his favourite...he will jumping when see me taking out apple from the fridge...hehe... normally in the morning i took the meat from the upper part of the fridge to put in the lower part so that it can defrost but still a bit frozen... |
