A friend just went to Univ of Penn to look into her bitch missing. The vet there stated that here is a new study, and they are finding that "some" bitches are re-asboring/aborting puppies or having small lirrers due to the bacteria found in raw meat. She advised next time the bitch was bred, not to feed her raw meat since this "may" be why she did not get pregnant.
