Lisa Kiesewetter Webboard User Reg: 06-11-2013 Posts: 8 Loc: Portugal Offline	I'm newer to the raw food diet.... I have an older dog that will be going into surgery to get a cancerous tumor removed in a the new week and I was wondering if i should withhold any type of raw food a day to few day before/ after his surgery? I don't know if it matters where the tumor is, if so it's on his left side flank area... I'm open to all opinion/ suggestions... Thanks for the help! Lisa Kiesewetter

During this time, you can grind them up, or just feed meat with 1/2 teaspoon ground eggshell per pound of meat added back in to balance the calcium/phosphorus ratios." Also, I'd be looking ahead to avoid the constipation that can come with pain meds and how to avoid that. So ... do you know/can you find out what the post-surgery pain meds will be?
