raw bone & poop question!

• raw bone & poop question! justine_lim Posted : 1/22/2007 12:43:47 AM Just wondering, why does my dog's poop come out very dry and hard after I have given him a raw bone? That's with all the fat trimmed and the marrow removed. It doesn't seem to be causing him any pain or damaging him in any way, but I was just wondering if it was normal.

• justine_lim Posted : 1/22/2007 11:29:41 PM Is there anything I can give him that will soften up his poop a little?

• Stacita Posted : 1/23/2007 7:55:20 AM With one of mine, I have to take the bone away after a certain point.Otherwise, he's old granite butt.   If you aren't worried about calories, you can start letting him have a little of the marrow/fat and increasing it slowly. Veggies cooked in olive oil seem to loosen things a little. 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• mudpuppy Posted : 1/23/2007 9:42:25 AM more meat. Raw feeders find they have to carefully calibrate bone to meat ratio in order to get good solid poops that aren't too solid. Too much bone in the diet, poop is too hard; too much meat in the diet, poop is too soft. Try stuffing the marrow cavity with raw hamburger and see if that fixes the problem. Or just leave the marrow and fat on the bone. Fat is good for dogs. 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.
