Try her with wings! She will take time to get used to what needs to be done before swallowing. Meg was the same, she tried to swallow things before they were chewed up enough and choked them back up, trial and error, she got the jist soon enough.

Can she not catch?
All I can say is I've got four dogs and two cats being fed raw and not had any outbreaks of any illness. Salmonella is already everywhere anyway!
Do a google search on Salmonella and you will see it's very overhyped, if I remember correctly there are thousands of strains of Salmonella, most are harmless and the ones that can be fatal represent something like 0.2% of all Salmonella in the UK.
