Default raw feeding/ bones

Well, that doesn't help! I am also a raw feeder and I used to use NV medallions.

The mucousy stool could be a number of things. Overfeeding, upset tummy, etc. Its not really a bad thing unless there is blood. Try adding some probiotics like plain yogurt or Petflora to your yorkie's food to rebalance the gut. Also, grab some enzymes (I use Prozyme) and add them to your yorkie's diet daily. They aid in digestion and assist in making sure your Yorkie gets all the good nutrition in the raw meat.

As for the bones - definitely return that bag! Have you tried Primal? I switched from NV to Primal and am much happier with the results. The Prozyme and Probiotics will help as you switch. Stay strong! Don't go back to kibble! Dr. Billinghurst's is also good raw food, as is Steve's Real Food. Let us know how it works out!
