Zoey's Mix

So little Miss Zoey (4# chihuahua) is extremely picky when it comes to organs.  So I make her up a mixture of everything she needs for a balanced diet.  I still give her boney meals a couple times a week alternating between rabbit, cornish hens and whole prey mice.  The she gets either chicken, pork, beef, turkey, fish, duck for her other meals that are made into little ice cube shaped cubes.   Zoey loves these little cubes and what she doesn't know is that she eats the organs without problems......won't hurt her :-)  Here is my 'recipe' that I use for her:
14oz meat (beef, chicken, pork, turkey, duck, fish)
4oz beef heart or chicken or rabbit hearts whatever I can find
or 1# Meat
1 oz Liver I use beef or chicken liver.
1 oz Other Secreting Organ kidney, spleen, thymus, pancreas, lung, testicles, or brains.  I mostly used Beef Kidneys as that is what was readily availabe.  I am running low on it so I am going to have to go hunt down some other organs.
1 sardine
1/2 teaspoon ground egg shell
1 raw egg
1 fish oil capsule (1000mg)
2 & 1/2 Vit E (400IU) Capsules
2 oz Vegetables/Blue Berries (I use these as antioxidants for Zoey since she has so many health issues).  I mainly use pumpkin, spinach, broccoli.  Notice if you feed Prey Model Raw, the veggies are usually omitted.  But after research I decided to include this small amount as she needs the antioxidant properties of them. 

Here is her meat thawing

 I put everything into the Ninja and chop/mix it up.

Here it is portioned out in the cubes.  After they are flash frozen, I put them into snack bags and then into a gallon sized ziplocked labeled with what meat it is. 

They are a little more than 1oz per cube, Zoey gets 1 cube twice a day.

Georgie, asks what's this?  Smelling a pork piece

You can see the redness on the left side of her face (right side of picture), and the eye drainage on her face.  Hoping it starts to improve soon.

Good News for Zoey

Well we have now been feeding raw for over a week with great success!  No diarrhea.  Zoey finally pooped tonight, so we are going to try and give her boneless every other day instead of every day and see how she goes.  She is eating pork tonight because she is used to eating that for her teeth 1x a week so we decided to keep doing that.

Nom Nom Nom...

Zoey is on day 2 of Raw Feeding and she is getting the hang of it and loving it!  Here are some pictures, there are also a couple of pictures of Georgie enjoying his weekly Pork Neck Bone for his teeth.
