Kim Condon Webboard User Reg: 10-18-2007 Posts: 47 Loc: North Carolina Offline	I feed my pup raw and I am starting to introduce new things. She handles RMB's without a problem, but eggshells seem to come out the same way they went in. If she is digesting bones, shouldn't she be able to tolerate shells? No other digestive issues. Should I just forget shells or will she eventually adjust to them? Thank you.

I have seen dogs who were new to raw not fully digesting shells and bones, but not fine with one and not the other. However, I'm thinking that since they are not going to hurt anything, I'd probably wait a bit and see what happens. You know that the enzymes that process bones take a bit to kick in if the dog is new to raw? It IS funny about bones going well and shells not. But I wouldn't be concerned about it. JMO.

I don't see any trace of bone fragments in his bm's, but I do see the egg shell fragments. It worried me a little, but since he acted fine I just decided to watch him....he still seems fine.
