Forum Rules | 1. Here we prefer clarity to agreement. Obviously not everyone is going to agree on a topic; here we prefer to talk out our differences in a respectful manner to ensure mutual understanding and respect. 2. Read the Stickies and Announcements. Each sub-forum may have specific rules which trump the Forum Rules in cases where there may be conflicting information. Read the rules of each board before you post so that you are clear on the expectations of the staff. 3. Respect ALL Staff and Admins. These people volunteer of their time and MUST be respected as well as their word adhered to. They are responsible for maintaining a free, open, clear and organized forum. Anyone found to be openly undermining any official ruling by a staff member will be warned. 4. Signatures: One picture only and no links. Images: To keep the forum looking neat and tidy, we ask that members insert just one picture only in their signatures. The picture should be no more than 200x500 pixels and should be of an appropriate subject, for example, your dogs and their names. Should you need assistance creating an appropriate signature, please PM an Admin and we would be happy to help! This is to ensure that signatures remain a welcome addition to our forum instead of a cumbersome distraction. Links: Hyperlinks in signatures--unless to a personal blog or photo stream of your dogs (like Flckr or Piscasa, for example)--are strictly prohibited. Please PM a staff member with any questions or concerns regarding this rule. |

| So we started Nanook on raw on wed. He's done "fine" so far in regards to actually eating. He did have a pretty nasty accident Friday in his crate. What's worrying me the most though is it's been a while since he's had a "decent" sized BM. He goes, but it's only a tiny amount that's runny. He's urinating fine (more frequently which I'm assuming is due to the higher water content of his food). After he goes his little bit he'll move somewhere else and attempt to go again but is unable to. I started him out the first couple of days on Chicken Backs and the last two days he's been getting Chicken Quarters. I'm worried he's blocked (but he is able to go so maybe this isn't a valid concern?). I've been considering taking him to the vet. Am I over-reacting or should I go ahead and take him in? Aside from the inability to pass he's acting normal. |

| Backs are very bone heavy, and quarters are very decently bony as well... He probably needs more muscle meat. I feed about 50-60% quarters and 40-50% meaty meat and its usually a good formula for my dogs and consistent stool. _________________ Force Free Training ThreadCheyenne, Mishka, Mickey, Rodeo, & Odin Are you a Husky owner in South Florida?!

| Chicken backs and leg quarters have lots of bones in it. Feeding bone adds bulk to poop, and feeding too much of it causes constipation.
I suggest you feed more meaty meals, and less bone. 10% of bone fed over time (80% meat, 10% organs) would be ideal. |
