I must admit, all of this is making me question the change to raw feeding. I'm a rational person and not normally silly enough to think that a diet could cause such drastic behavioral problems but since that is the only change I can think of, I'm left feeling a little irrational. I would absolutely HATE to go back to kibble because I fully believe in the benefits and importance of feeding a biologically appropriate diet.
My boyfriend and I have also speculated that maybe the physical stimulation of eating raw meaty bones has spurred an interest in exercising his jaw muscles (hence the reappearance of destructive chewing)? Haha we are just full of crazy ideas because we are running out of options!  | I understand!! I just don't know if the diet change would make this kind of difference. Especially since your others aren't behaving differently. And he's whining more after giving him a little extra? Well, I will be so curious to see what happens after you feed him again. I sure hope something helps him soon!
