That looks like a great shopping list to me,

Honeycomb tripe is extra lean but it has usually been treated so not good. Tell him that green tripe is tripe that has not been washed or bleached, it is usually a green or grey like colour.

I would ask him for ANY meaty rabbit bones, but if you like specifically rabbit legs would be good (I wish I could get them!)

Lamb parts- I give lamb chops and lamb ribs, I ask to have the lamb breast meat with the ribs because I find the ribs alone to be a bit low on meat.

Duck is just like chicken really, you can ask for wings, thighs and legs.

I appreciate your anxiety about being embarrassed but don't worry, he will have some of those things and it doesn't matter if you can't get them all.

Excellent!! Thank you! And thanks for explaining about the honeycomb tripe, I don't want to buy anything that's been treated or bleached.

Wow, abbie'smom...Thank you so much for sharing your daughter's story with me...I'm so sorry to read that, and thank you for having that information on the internet to inform other parents...

Yeah, the honeycombed tripe you probably see in the grocer may(?) be good for a chew toy. That's about it.

You're welcome. It was pretty hard to put us "out there"; but, perhaps our story can change how people think of vaccs. Thank-you for visiting.

Can I still give the dogs bully sticks as a chew treat?

Yes you can but be aware that they can be a cause of dirrea.

I've been giving it to them since I got them and they've never had runny poop. But I'll be sure to watch out for in just in case. Thanks.

I was just talking to my friend who feeds her dog and cats raw and she said NO CHICKEN BONES because they can splinter and be dangerous.

Is that ture? What do you gals think?

abbie's mom · 11-19-2007, 02:56 PM

Gooooooooooo Indy!! Good job! Great videos, lara! I wish we had a video cam

I'm wondering what kind of "raw" your friend feeds. She's correct, if she's talking about COOKED CHICKEN BONES. COOKED bones of any kind are dangerous.

lara2913 · 11-19-2007, 03:19 PM

What does she feed her dogs? Doesen't sound like any kind of raw diet I know of, ground egg shells, marrow bones (both no no's) and no chicken bones (big yes)

Cooked chicken bones (or any cooked bones) should not be fed. Raw chicken bones however are soft, pliable, and are simply crunched up and swallowed. Marrow bones are far far more likely to cause problems as they are so dense.

lara2913 · 11-19-2007, 03:21 PM

Funnily enough I have had my digi camera for several months but only realised a few days ago that it lets you do videos up to 30 seconds long

Maybe I will do a whole series of raw videos

Sounds like a PLAN! Oh, and...don't forget to post them on the 'other' site

Lacy loves her bully stix. One time she at a whole 6in one at once and she had diarrhea the next day, but I never let her chew more than a couple inches at a time now and we haven't had any problems.

Yorkieluv · 11-19-2007, 04:45 PM

How long does it take for them to eat the whole bone??
