Question Yet another ? about raw

I am as intrigued about feeding raw as I am scared of it. I worry about the possibility of e. coli/salmonella, the bones, what it will do to her digestive system. I guess I relate it to feeding my human baby raw meat. I know that is silly but worry is my thing!

Anyway, I think I remember someone saying that freezing the meat first helps with the threat of salmonella? Also, I was wondering if any of you maybe mixed the muscle, organ, etc. in a meat grinder? That would help me feel better about the bones....although I know the meaty bones are what is recommended for the benefit of the teeth. She is a small baby at 2 lbs....although I think she has put on a bit of weight since her spay. I read that initially they lose a bit of weight...can she stand to lose weight?

What can I expect the first few days after starting this? Also, is there anyone that has had a pup that did not want to eat the raw? So many questions.
