I gave my boys some lamb ribs yesterday. Probably a section about 8-10 inches long each. They ate about 75%, until i took them away.

They had no dinner, and just a very small breakfast of half a pack of naturediet each, at 8am. In the last 30 mins, they have both regurgitated their brekkie, and Oscar has horrendous diarrheoa.

Is it just that they arent used to such food? Or the volume they ate?

They enjoyed it so much yesterday, but now i feel really guilty.

I would think it's coz they'r not used to the raw but i don't no really sorry. I'll be watching this thread coz my are starting on raw today

Have u read the book by Ian billinghurst "give ur dog a bone"?
If not get it....really good advice re introducing, I leant mine out a few years ago and never saw it again.
Lamb is what I consider heavy ie very greasy and will lie in the tum for ages, even harry who is used to raw will regurgitate those.
The best starter is a chicken wing, then perhaps a chicken carcass if u can source them.
Be prepared to get friendly with ur local butcher lol

I have the book on order.

I have some chicken necks (frozen) but now im a bit scared to give them (im such a weed - and have just been informed that im stupid and irresponsible lol). Of course if i do, ill wait until they are back to normal.

The ribs had very little meat and sinews etc, attached to them, and were mostly bone. Maybe its a combination of volume and something far too rich.

Oscar did bring up a bit of rib, so hasnt digested everything.

Are lamb bone's with a little meat ok? sorry to ask when it's your thread noonie

HIJACKER!!

Its quite alright. Info is info

you said it anyway. oh can have the lamb bone's now

oh im sorry to hear this Nonnie, i hope it hasnt put you off ive never had a problem with the ribs but like Gesic says try wings they might be easier for them to digest. I give mine lots of probiotic yoghurt & i mix a teaspoon of apple cider vinegar in it now & again its good for the digestion. Hope they'll be over it soon xx

& i agree "give your dog a bone" is a great book.

They are fine, if ur dogs used to them but even when not it is pretty normal to vom them up and eat again...not the nicest thing to watch but is ok.
It is very hard to gain confidence to feed raw when u av been brought up with constant information as to how dangerous raw or under cooked meat is!
But just think about all those street dog living abroad n how they cope scavenging bin and eating god knows what I know they aint the healthiest specimens but it pushes the point that dogs can survive eating god only knows what kind of rancid meat!
The necks I am assuming are natures menu frozen, the first lot I got where fine but the 2nd lot are still in the freezer as mainly big turkey necks and H cannot seem to keep em down.
Also if serious, invest in a food processor so u can mulch up raw vegs n a little offal as a change...man and dog cannot survive on meat (n bones) alone!

How do you no how much meat and veg to give em?.
