Ziva's noon feeding

Sorry for not posting

I have been really busy for a while, but promise I will do better about posting the pictures of "My Little Carnivores" eating their raw food.  We have been feeding raw now for almost 3 months and I seriously am so happy with it.  Zoey is THRIVING on it, she eats it with ease, and has not had to be seen by the vet for anything, except food poisoning (she found a rotten carrot on my kitchen floor somewhere).  She's been healthy, has a lot more energy, is more playful and just doing great!  Raw feeding has mellowed my spaz attack Golden Retriever Shellie out IMMENSELY, she probably has 1/2 the energy she did before.  She even was able to walk 20 miles with the majority of it loose leash while she helped me search for my sister's standard poodle whom was lost and on her own for 3 & 1/2 weeks.  I'm so proud of Shellie! 

New Little Carnivore Joins our Family!

We have a new "Little Carnivore", her name is Ziva and she is a Miniature Pinscher Puppy.  She is taking to raw like a pro and already eating through Cornish hen bones, and she doesn't even have any adult teeth yet :-)  She is getting 10% of her weight per day (as she's a puppy) so we are feeding her about 5.6oz per day divided into 4 feedings:

Here are some pictures of her 1st Raw Meal:

Zoey has worms in her water dish!

UPDATE:  We figured out these little buggers are Mosquito Larvae!!!!  So it had NOTHING to do with feeding her raw food, which I didn't think it did.  My dad said he's never seen that happen in a 'fresh' water bowl before.

So was getting Zoeys water dish (ceramic) to clean it out for the day and noticed a whole bunch of floaties in it beyond her hair lol, took a closer look at they were moving! EEEK! They are less than 1/4" long and about the width of a pin. Hubby is a little upset/freaked that feeding raw is giving Zoey worms. He wants me to worm her & quit feeding raw immediately. Hubby's thoughts were bloodworms or mosquitoe larvae, although they are all at the bottom with a few at the top. He did say it looked like some had a 'casing' around them and were developing into something else. His thoughts are maybe I accidentally spilled a drop of blood in her water last night when feeding? Has anyone else every seen this? This happened in about 24 hours as I clean out her dish every day. I have not seen any worms in her stool at all. Do I need to take her in for a fecal? Here are her meals for past 24 hours:
Wednesday morning: boneless chicken breast
Wednesday Evening: Boneless Pork Chop (was short sale but frozen for 2 weeks +)
Thursday Morning: Ground Beef (fed at work so no way touched bowl)

Hubby has to go grain free!

We went to the Dr today for a follow up on my hubby's blood pressure, well we found out a specialist didn't tell us the truth last year after hubby had an ECG they told us it was normal, well it turns out it wasn't his heart is enlarged with slight function issues, but not enough to warrant meds yet.  Then we found out my hubby is most likely sensitive/allergic to grains (Celiac Disease kind of) so we were told that we had to cut out all grains out of the diet including rice, we are both Carbohydrate addicts, but since I have PCOS it is probably for the best that we cut out grains, sugars etc.  So it will definitely be an adventure...but since we are already stocking up on meats etc for the dogs, hopefully it won't be too difficult....although definitely going to have to do more research on it. 

Eggcellent!

For those who don't know me, raw eggs absolutely disgust me lol, now I LOVE cooked eggs (well done "dead" as hubby says), I can't stand having any runny egg yolk left at all it literally makes me gag.  Hubby loves them sunny side up so it took a lot for me to be able to feed my dogs raw egg.  Georgie likes eggs but not the shell (yet).  Here are some pictures of Zoey enjoying the egg, I had to break up the shell for her but she ate about 3/4 of the shell.  She loves crunching things! 

Before I realized she needed the egg shell broken up a bit

I broke the egg shell up into little bites for her

Enjoying some crunchies!

He's Eating My Food!

Just sharing as I thought it turned out really cute...she is enjoying a few licks of my homemade banana 'creamie'.  She LOVED it, Hubby said he's going to buy some doggie popcicle molds and make liver pops or something along those lines lol!

Nomming on some cornish hen bone in chicken

Zoey using her feet to hold the bone (cornish hen leg bone)

"Mom!  Munchie's eating my dinner!"  Munchie is our little 'piglet' of a cat, he has 6th sense when it comes to food, the tastier the better.  I had just cleaned out Georgies crate and put down a large matt, Munchie was in there, I kicked him out but as soon as he say Georgies dinner he went back in lol!
