Wayne I think once people have been in the breed or any breed long enough they go throw just about everything! There are no exceptions we all go through happy days and heck days.

Your welcome my point in posting it was to make sure your feeding him the correct amounts because the two dogs that had issues starting healing shortly after the raw diet and two weeks is a long time.

i got a uestion you might be able to awnser, rico can now digest bones completly his stools are fine. all i have been giving him so far are chicken quarters, my question is this, now that he can digest raw meats should i start feeing him muscle meats and organ meats. i planed on starting monday but now with him having his first dip i wasent sure if i should or not

He needs the full diet so yes start it. If he is not getting the right intact it really doesn't benefit him any. Make sure not to over do the organ meat though (which most of us only give three times a week such as liver).

ok I'll start with 5% muscle meat tonight and knock his RMB down to 95%. i tried getting some beef heart but my place doesent carry it so im gonna have to get something else.

Liver is the easiest to find. I use the chicken liver instead of beef. Just a personal preference though.

liver is an organ meat im lookin for a muscle meat, after i introduce a new muscle meat I will then introduce a organ meat

I keep forgeting it's not an organ but you can try turkey breast. I really steer clear of a lot of pork and beef but again that's just me. Ground beef is also good and easy to find!

is it ok to feed only chicken? i was thinking i could give him chicken breast for muscle meat, im just scared ground beef wouldnt agree with him, im just being so cautious cause of his dips and i dont wana inflect any other unesecary harm on my lil guy. but if he needs differnt kinds of meat i could do ground beef.

You can do all chicken I do lol. It has not caused a problem for me at all. I don't do beef or pork most times less i have no choice.

ok cool, I'll go get some muscle meat after work

Good luck!!! I hope that all goes well for ya!!!

Don`t you mean generalised not localised? Anyways...Brad had the dips, 7 of them. I used a good shampoo (coatex) put him extra Vitamin C (yes i know they produce their own) ecinacea (spelling??) garlic, and extra Vit A.

7 baths later, and a change of diet, it cleared up. He had generalised and it was spreading rapidly.

Of what i know so far, most pups will grow out of it, but should it reappear in adulthood, it could be a faulty recessive gene, the T-Cell i believe.

If you go to GoPitBull, do a search and it will give you progress reports on what happened with Bradley.

Hang tight, imo try treatments, dips are harsh, but for Brad that worked wonders. If it don`t work, keep trying alternative methods.

All the best geezer.

Yes I meant generalized.

What works for one dog may not work for another.
