Both caught on within a couple of meals, once (I believe) they recognized that the smell of the weird new thing was the same as the smell of the familiar ground yummy.

She licked it off and licked the back for a while but did not eat it. No poop yet. She made a big poop yesterday which was obviously a kibble poop and vomited the food I gave her last night so there isn't much in there to come out yet. Will she ever eat bone? Sigh http://s173.photobucket.com/albums/w49/catkemp9/

Connie Sutherland Moderator Reg: 07-13-2005 Posts: 31571 Loc: North-Central coast of California Offline	Yes, she will. It's been less than 1 day and she has been raised on kibble. It will be fine. Do the same thing next meal. You can also hack off a bite and give that in the same bowl. (Backs are nice softish bones.)

Cathi Kemp Webboard User Reg: 01-21-2007 Posts: 265 Loc: Los Angeles, CA Offline	I think we will do that - cut the back up and mix with the muscle. Now about quantity. Last night I figured out the quantity based on her weight of 25lbs and planned to start at 5% of weight which is 1.25 lbs/day. When she gets used to eating all of the foods below and I implement her regular diet it will be = RMBs - 10 oz Musc - 5 oz Tripe - 3 oz Org - 2 oz Until then, how much should I be feeding per meal? Should I still feed 1.25 lbs/day but only of RMBs and muscle until I start adding in other stuff? http://s173.photobucket.com/albums/w49/catkemp9/

IOW, if you see perfect poop, then the meals will start increasing; if not, they won't until you do. P.S. Organ meat would be 5 to 10%; 2 ounces is the top of that range.

Cathi Kemp Webboard User Reg: 01-21-2007 Posts: 265 Loc: Los Angeles, CA Offline	Okay, so I will continue each meal with 1 cup of ground chicken and a piece of a back until I get good poopidge. Then we'll talk. http://s173.photobucket.com/albums/w49/catkemp9/

Then we'll talk. No no. Again, a cup is a lot of muscle meat. It's probably close to half a pound. This did not mean to give a cup of mm again: Do the same thing next meal. You can also hack off a bite and give that in the same bowl. (Backs are nice softish bones.) It meant to smoosh some onto the back again and also hack off a bite and give that in the bowl too. Your goal here is to get the dog eating the RMB.

Cathi Kemp Webboard User Reg: 01-21-2007 Posts: 265 Loc: Los Angeles, CA Offline	Oops, okay, thank you. Will post later tonight. We aren't planning on trying this until this evening when we feed the other dogs. http://s173.photobucket.com/albums/w49/catkemp9/

Not a few weeks. If she doesn't (but she probably will), if you are having a heart attack, you can give some plain unsweetened yogurt. But this is not a big deal.
