Bones & Raw Problems

Bones & Raw Problems

Hi guy's,
Just wanted to ask a quick question to those who have experience with bones and raw diet.
I feed my dog on eukanuba but also give him the occasional bit of raw meat and bones. I gave him a knuckle bone fresh from our butchers yesterday which he enjoyed for the best part of two and a half hours. Then today when I took him for his morning walk he had a poo and it was white and nearly all bits of bone, he then went again and it was just water, he was then sick a little. This has never happened before. He hadn't swallowed any large chunks as when I took the bone off him only one of the knuckles was knawed down. Has anyone had any similar experiences?
Thanks in advance for your replies...

 

Re: Bones & Raw Problems

what is a knuckle bone? sry im from holland

white poo tells it was more bone then meat(to much). be careful it can cause constipation. and at the least far from healthy. when feeding raw it should be no more then 15 % bone.

hen you want to feed raw you register on some raw feeding board or whatever first, instead of just messing around.

i get the same thing along with the craps ,, the only time everything works good is when their on chicken with the bones some liver and kidney with greens, oils ,wheat bread . eggs with the shells and the dog bloom supplement..

 

Re: Bones & Raw Problems

Your Dogs system is not used to a load up of raw ,raw can carry bacteria he has not been exposed to ,if he started out in the wild and was exposed his system would be used to it and built up anti bodies ..You should boil or micro wave for one full minute all raw ..so yeah then it's cooked but safe ...sounds like he's just cleaning out, should be fine though

 

Re: Bones & Raw Problems

rroscoe you are right, he is fine today.

Thanks again

 

Re: Bones & Raw Problems

Nonononon!! PLEASE do not microwave your bones!!! Microwaving cooks bones from the inside out and causes splintering inside.

P.S white shit is fine. That shows he absorbed most of the moisture in the food.

 

Re: Bones & Raw Problems

Have you ever used one? Microwaves do not cook from the inside out.

 

Re: Bones & Raw Problems

so much stupid advises in a few replies, my mind cant handle it

 

Re: Bones & Raw Problems

do not cook bones for your dog EVER. very simple.

 

Re: Bones & Raw Problems

I gotta agree don't be cooking bones .I have been feeding dogs raw bone since being a kid and my dogs always have reduced craps and are generally tend to be whiteish and hard and small.never ever had any problems.Same with raw chicken and bones never had any issues .

 

Re: Bones & Raw Problems

The white poop is just calcium. Too much in hIs system that's it. My hounds shit all white as well. It's ok, I was thinking they had a problem when I first switched to raw. But if you google it. You'll read it's ok.

 

Re: Bones & Raw Problems

If your dogs poo looks white all the time, you're doing it wrong.

 

Re: Bones & Raw Problems

You ever eaten microwaved food that had a molten core?

Re: Bones & Raw Problems

No I dont eat food thats been nuked. If its core is molten most likely the outer edges will be burnt crisp. Microwaves use the moisture content to cook. Yes a bone will probably have more moisture in the marrow. Electricity is what cooks from the inside out. Bones shouldnt be cooked regardless. Your third link states that. If your going to feed cooked bones give them to the critters in your second link.

 

Re: Bones & Raw Problems

Again,

Thanks for all the advice, it has been really helpful....
