Sad: I had a litter of 10 "Bear" (Sundance Kid) babies. I lost 9. The
10th was Ch. Von Saar's Risque. I would have fought to the death about raw
because I used it for so long successfully...I also used ground chicken
necks...I wonder how much influence our current bacteria filled world with
all it's new deseases has to do with it?
Where did the "flesh eating bacteria come from?" I never heard of that one
until recently. We each do what is best for us. If we have a problem, we
tell others about it so they don't suffer the same results. Raw meat killed
my puppies. End of story, end of sad story.

I feed raw chicken once a week to my dogs, BUT NOT to puppies under 6 months
or old dogs. I almost lost two three month old pups a few years ago. They
had parvo symptoms, but not parvo. They came down with it the day after I
fed raw. I am no longer feeding Canidae as soon as it runs out, as my source
is no longer carrying it. I am changing the dogs over to chicken Soup Puppy
and hope to have the same good results. Ann

In reply to Paul's post:
After losing puppies from 4 litters, I am death on raw meat for young
puppies. I HAD used it for 25 plus years with no problem, but when the
problem hits, it's both a killer and heartbreaker.
I used to weaned puppies on market-grade ground beef (for human consumption)
and switched them to packaged frozen ground beef throat muscle meat from a
large Los Angeles pet food supply company at about 4 weeks. One day I got
up to find a dead puppy. It was completely normal the night before. To
shorten the story, I lost many puppies over the next 3 weeks and my vet
could not determine why. Upon referral, I was sent to the County of Los
Angeles for further investigation. Through extensive tests and lab work
they determined that it was the raw meat that killed them. Adult dogs are
carrion eaters and equipped to digest dead animals, young puppies are not.
Bacteria and toxins in the meat produce intera-toxins that hits the heart of
the puppy and they are fine one minute, dead the next. In the wild, the
dam would chew, swallow and regurgitate the food. The stomach of the dam
kills the excess bacteria. What's important to understand is that
contamination can happen anywhere and humans have also been the victims of
raw or under cooked meat. Many restaurants today will not serve a rare
hamburger. Bacteria levels can not be seen. My feeling now, "WHY TAKE ANY
RISKS AT ALL" when it is not necessary.
This tragedy happened to me in 1987. It was the end of raw meat for my
kids. Since that time I used a high quality kibble and canned for flavor
without ever a problem. I raised many champions, selects, etc., without raw
meat in their diet. I like to tell my story every few years so that no one
ever suffers the pain that I did.
Best wishes, Helen Franklin
Dear Helen, thank you for the reminder, I too used to feed raw chop meat
while weaning my pups and had the same thing happen to a litter of pups,
I no longer, eat steak tartare myself, and no longer give raw meat to my
pups. Diane
