Not drinking as much water is normal w/raw. You can try upping the bone a little to firm stools, or canned pumpkin (no sugar). I would go ahead w/a parasite check, but don't mention raw food!
What you're feeding is fine, although I'd gradually increase variety, but if you want to try more bone, wings have more bone than meat, as do backs. With a little guy, it's kind of hard. I use pork neck bones for my Chi a lot.

My 8-week old pup had some BAD diarrhea today (I added some organ meat and some goat milk and SOMEthing did not agree with him). My vet's IMMEDIATE reaction was, "Oh, it's the raw diet. See, you shouldn't feed that because it's too much of a shock for new puppies. Now I recommend this brand we carry called..."
Well, Mr. Hijacker, I would suspect BOTH of those things. When introducing organ meat, start w/small amounts. It's much richer than muscle meat. Also, goat's milk may cause it. I have used goat's milk w/tiny puppies during/just after weaning, but never as old as Winger. No reason for dairy after weaning, unless it's a bit of yogurt for live cultures. We are the only species who continues to drink milk after weaning . Vets, schmets.
A final note on this: I've cut back to one chicken neck in the A.M. and one in the P.M and have had great success for 2 days, must have been the amount making him sick. Thanks!!!! ps. I've also taken a stool sample in to the vet today just to check.

I'm not sure where they are on this issue. How do I increase bone? What kind of bones?
