Just a note should you decide to try raw.....no antiacids when feeding raw.
I have also read by a couple of holistic vets that chicken is a hot food, at least in raw feeding, & is best not fed to dog's with cancers. But I don't know if that is the overall thought by most holistic vets. Maybe someone else here knows about that.

"Hot" is used to describe both heating foods (in the yin-yang tradition) and also simply foods that are high in protein.
I wish I knew more about extremely efficient proteins (which white poultry is) with cancer. If anyone has links to authoritative sites about this, a new thread would be great.
I've read a lot more about avoiding carbs, and particularly the simple carbs (refined grains, white potato, white rice, all forms of sugar, etc.) for a dog with cancer.
How Kipp does will not be determined by what you feed or don't feed. The lymphoma has a mind of its own. All you can do is try to keep him eating something and try to keep him cheery.

To CORRECT this above statement. I went back & checked my notes from Allen:.....MY BAD.. sorry, I should have checked this first. I apologize for any confusion I may have caused.
BEEF is the 'hot' food. NOT chicken. For an immune-compromised dog....all raw food should be cooked lightly in a bit of olive oil (healthy oil) to kill any salmonella bacteria on the food before feeding. This is per Dr. Allen Schoen's instructions.
Note: Allen treated my horse, Blue, for many years as well friend's horses & dogs with chiro, acupuncture & holistic care.

I would ask if it follows that these would need to be whole pieces of meat and one would want to avoid ground meat during this period due to the larger exposed surface area and potential for contamination?
Kipp seems to be feeling better for now appetite is better, poop is semi-formed for the first time in two weeks, still a bit anemic but attitude is good and he wants to do stuff (partly prednisone induced but I'm not complaining right now). I'll continue to try more food with him, but if all he wants is cat food and scrambled eggs then I'll happily feed him that. But tonight he did eat a little THK so maybe he'll end up eating that just fine. FWIW, I didn't mention this before but the vet spent a good amount of time explaining everything and consulted with a canine lymphoma specialist after all the test results where back. While none of the information was encouraging, I got some pretty good info to make decisions with and I'm really glad for that.
