She may be sensitive to anything lamb if you know she is allergic to meat. Anything that comes from lamb, is lamb no matter how you look at it. You can try it and see, or just don't feed lamb organs. You feed beef organs, or organs from anything else.

 

[naturalfeddogs]

You may want to stay away from lamb for a little while and see if it makes a difference in her skin, even the organs. Lamb is lamb, noatter what part. If she clears up, then try it again and see what happens. If it does it again, you know lamb is the problem.

I'm not sure about kg vs. lbs. Being in the states, I use lbs.

For you, those prices may be just fine.

 

[naturalfeddogs]

Its more is that right for a balanced diet if I got all that then its nutrionally balanced? Not missing anything? Im use grams for daily amount not think a kg is 2.2 pounds

Oh, sorry! Duh! That looks pretty good to me. Maybe add one more protein when you order next. But I wouldn't complain about that. However, you do need some bone in there though.

 

[naturalfeddogs]

Bone is best in variety as well as proteins, so adding a couple more won't hurt.

Liver is an organ, not a protein. It can be fed as a weekly meal, or small amounts during the week.

Really, a minimum of four proteins is going to be best nutritionally. For example, beef, lamb, chicken and venison. But of course, the more the better!

Feeding a different protein daily is best. The more you rotate daily, the better they get the nutrients they need on a regular basis, rather than going weeks or months, missing stuff.

 

[naturalfeddogs]

Ah ok maybe the first week I alternate protein every two days so know no reaction then do daily dont need upset guts lol.

she can't have raw chicken but will try pork at some stage. She just had tiny piece lamb to try. What bone in pieces are safe eg if I were to buy lamb brisket bones or lamb rack would they be ok? What bone on pieces to stay away from please?

her skin is clear with tad red from itching under chest and mum doing roast lamb so we gave her tiny piece to try.

If she reacts in anyway after having ovine tripe which fine with will be surprised and @TiggerBounce will be shocked that she told me on Facebook!

Rotating that way in the beginning is really best. One protein at a time for a couple of weeks at a time just to watch for any possible allergy issues. That way you know what protein is the culprit, but after transition try to give something different each day.

Lamb ribs are a good bone source, so are lamb shoulders. Those are easy to chew and digest. Stay away from the weight bearing bones. Brisket should be fine as well.

Sounds like things are going well! Yea, pushing you to buy something is aggravating. I think I would be buying from somewhere else too.

 

[naturalfeddogs]

I want to live where you live...........:thumbsup:

 

[naturalfeddogs]

Yes, go very slowly with heart in the beginning, its very rich and you will have cannon butt otherwise. Its good to feed something with bone at the same time. That can help decrease the chances of cannon butt in case you feed too much. But its no guarantee! Just a little at a time.

You don't have to feed tripe. I never have, but some feed it regular. Its up to you. And yes, the white tripe you find in stores has been washed and bleached, so there is basically no nutrition at all. Don't feed that. Feed the raw, green tripe not intended for humans.

 

[naturalfeddogs]

I don't know about the stomach, I don't feed it. But if it's white like the store bought tripe, intended for humans then it has probably been bleached as well.

I wouldn't think tripe would help prevent cannon butt. I have never heard that. As rich as heart is, I would stick to adding bone to help with that. And yes, it sounds like you have the right idea with how you are thinking of starting with the heart, I would do that way for sure.

 

[naturalfeddogs]

Weight bearing bones are the leg/marrow bones of large animals like cow, elk, deer, buffalo, sheep, etc....

Good looking freezer full!!

So im thinking theres something going on here and a couple people on facebook RFC chat think its the venison. basically twice a month she gets really bad farts for a few days then eventually goes poop and until last few days she was going daily i saw that with my own eyes over the last week now that seems to have stopped as of 2 days ago. 3 days ago the bad farts started and just getting worse and so frequent she looks miserable. Given her a rabbit shoulder and some green tripe today minced version.

Going to see if i can sell the rabbit venison and tripe mix once i get this order

Mine eat deer scraps from processors every year during deer season, and yep, the farts will gag a maggot. The farts seem to only last the first few days they are eating deer and then they are pretty much over. Fresh beef does it as well. just really rich meats.

 

[naturalfeddogs]

Just give her something with bone for the next meal, then give her liver at the meal after that. You can add some bone then too if you want. I almost always give something with bone when I give liver, just to be safe.

 

[naturalfeddogs]

What happened?

 

[naturalfeddogs]

Has it been thrown out yet? Even though it may smell bad, if you got it in the freezer in time it may actually be OK. Dogs can handle that sort of thing pretty well. I sure hate that happened though!

 

[naturalfeddogs]

Dang, I hate that for you

 

[naturalfeddogs]

If you aren't going to be home for a while and you are worried about the poop issues, just feed a bone in meal, with no organ until you are there. Not getting organ right then isn't going to hurt anything at all.

 

[naturalfeddogs]

btw as a joke mum sent me a link to www.tails.com for some dry food for Jess i wasn't impressed with ingredients even though meant to be tailor made for her i told mum as a result of that bad joke she can feed Jessie tripe for a week when get to uk!

Ha Ha!! Payback!!

 

[naturalfeddogs]

Oh my goodness that's funny! The dark poops can be from liver. It tends to cause black or really dark poops with a good bit of odor. And yes, that combined with deworming and vaccines can be a factor as well. I personally don't vaccinate mine, and only deworm if needed.
