My question is this; is raw green tripe considered organ meat or muscle? I have been getting it from a reliable source and the dogs love it..........but I am not sure how to portion it out really. They get primarily chicken necks and backs for their RMB's and one of the gsd girls is getting pudding poop if she gets more than about a half cup of tripe with her meals. The little papillon rescue guy does this also. Is this a tripe thing or do I need to look elsewhere?

Konnie Hein Webboard User Reg: 03-24-2006 Posts: 413 Loc: Connecticut Offline	Hi Saffron: Is the tripe from grass-fed animals? Are they organically raised or ? I'm sure the other raw feeders here will chime in soon, but IME, I've never had a dog get loose stools from green tripe. I feed Bravo's tripe, and I use it to start a dog on raw as well as to settle any minor digestive issues that pop up because of the good intestinal bacteria in it. I don't consider it to be muscle or organ, just a necessary addition to their meals every day (or as I mentioned above). I use a golf-ball size portion of it in every meal. And, for minor digestive issues, I feed a larger amount of it as a meal until the issues resolves, usually within a day or so (issues not resolved within that time span typically warrant a vet visit). Perhaps others have different experiences. http://www.laforgemalinois.com

It may well be the turkey hearts that caused the loose poop.......everything else being fine I shall just stay the course. Thanks!
