Along with what the other posters have said about parasites, it MAY be because there isn't enough bone in the diet. Too much muscle meat will cause very soft squishy stools. Also, when a dog changes to a raw food diet and they have been on kibble for their lives they simply do not have the necessary enzymes in their gut to properly digest the raw food. This comes with time and the help of a little yogurt (or probiotics).
I'm with everyone else here in thinking that there may be something else afoot (in addition to a heavy muscle meat diet).
When you get the backs, on the underside are usually 2 sections of heavy fat - cut those off and leave everything else intact and then stay away from the quarters until such time that the poop normalizes. When it does, we can then help you add things as time goes on.
I'm certainly NO expert here but have learned with the help of those on this board. (You know who you are - thanks again!)
This morning I cut the fat off of the quarters and gave that to them before I read the post, I should have waited. I'll call the butcher again today and check on the backs. I went ahead and started them on Albon because they've been exposed. But these dogs were PERFECT before the diet switch.
Since I have the Albon, I'm just putting them on it w/o a fecal test becuase honestly, my company is losing money and I haven't been paid in a month and can't afford to have the vet back. I'll also get some yogurt.
Today poop was the same, pudding with fat. Wow that sounds nasty.
