David,
Are you feeding a probiotic with the RMB meal? Or plain yogurt or cottage cheese?
Also a bit of canned pumpkin (plain, not the pie filling) may help with the adjustment period.

David, first, to start your own thread, see "forum list" (upper left)? Click on that, and find the forum that you're interested in. In this case, it really would have been the "all natural diet" forum. Click on it. Now see "new topic" in blue, again upper left? Click that and start a whole new thread.

That's for future reference....... rather than posting a new question on an existing thread (which is often a hijack).

Plain LIVE-CULTURE yogurt is a good probiotic, as Carol mentioned.

But you say this is very recent. So:

You mean he was eating this same food, same meal breakdown, with no diarrhea, and then it started recently?

Has the amount at that meal increased in general, with a possibility of overfeeding at that meal?

No new ingredients, right?

And you do mean explosive diarrhea, right? Not pudding poop? These are very different. Can he control it to get outside? Is it watery?

Oh, and also: Any chance you have increased fat a lot by using more wings (largely fatty skin and bone)? (I was just reading back about which poultry parts you use for RMBs.)

If the diarrhea is fat-related, which is not at all uncommon with a sudden change to more fat, then removing the skin, skipping the wings, and trying that for a couple of days will tell you.

Is that possibly the culprit?

Please post back. Explosive diarrhea is not something to let continue. But I certainly have seen it with dogs who got into a lot of fat trimmings in the trash or otherwise ate a lot of unaccustomed fat, and that's easy to test and fix.

Dear Carol: thank you for your suggestion for chicken backs, etc.
Bindi is a terrior mix about 19 lbs. SHe has done very well with the chicken wings with the little drum stick attached, until the other day when the next morning after eating dinner, she threw up and all that was there was the bone of the drum stick.
I have cut away the little grissle joint, and have even cut the little drum stick away from the wing. I was just concerned that she threw up the bone. Wondered if any others have experienced it and am trying to figure out why it happened.
I haven't fed her pork yet but will look for a resourse for chicken backs and necks.
For a litte mix, she is beautiful. When I got her she was thin and her hair was so very dry (not wiry like terriors usually are, but very dry) and now with feeding raw she has really bumped up and developed powerful muscles and her coat for a terrior is beautiful!
Thank you all for your input.
I believe whatever kind of dog someone has they need to do the best to care for them, this web forum has really helped me do that, of course along with Ed's videos.
Thanks again.
May you have a blessed Thanksgiving.

Dear David: this just came to my mind as I was reading your post, do you put any subliments in at dinner time that you do not in the morning? Maybe one of them is upseting his stomach? Just a thought.
God bless you

thanks everyone for the interest in my dog's health.

Yogurt (probiotics) is a daily part of the diet, taken only in the mornings. pumpkin has been applied successfully to the diet and seems to resolve diarrhea on a case by case basis. we feed the way we do based on recommendations in literature on raw diets. we don't mix the RMB's with vegetable matter.

the wings could be removed from the diet, or at least "clipped", pun intended. we could be overfeeding but are careful to keep the amount of food commensurate with this current weight. i believe the percentage is 4% of body weight in food per day. we are also feeding almost exclusively chicken, so perhaps that needs to vary too.

anyway,

The term "explosive" is relatively accurate. The poop is very runny, poorly formed and in one instance literally "shot" from the dog. He's able to contain the movements until outside, and that's pretty impressive considering being cage trained and alone during the day. the nighttime episodes are prefaced by whining and lots of stirring in the cage.

No leaks or accidents in the cage, house, yet.

giarida a possibility?
