New Mommy Here !! Need Advice for Chihuahua Owners!!! :)

Haha well I don't know, its just what the man who owns the only pet shop in Dundee that sells proper raw stuff said to me in a very horrified way when I said that Rosa mostly had chicken necks for her bone content at the time. He said she wouldn't be able to get enough calcium from them as she was growing up as a puppy. You are right though, he was talking a load of bull, vertebrae is bone. Pah. Well good on Carlotta then, she has no trouble with chicken necks, and in fact seems to particularly love them.

Haha shoosh i was only just starting to feed raw at the time and never really thought about it since. I also thought there was a separate tube in our throats that liquids went down till I was about 20 because people used to say "it went down the wrong pipe" after coughing and spluttering when having had a drink, and from assuming that as a child I just didn't think about it in much detail after than even when studying animal anatomy and presumably seeing that there was no second pipe for liquids. I am the type of person who once I have decided something is true, I really run with it haha. But I am becoming less like that in recent months...

Hahaha well I thought they had to be digested differently or that the water could go straight into the blood or something, I have no idea. It was a particular dummy moment of mine haha.

Anyway, my cats are currently crunching away on chopped chicken carcass, I think they got a good bit of the rib cage tonight so there is lots of bone. They had a wing between them this morning and a bit of adjoining bone. So a chihuahua would have no trouble getting through that if they can, and there are people who don't chop up the bone for their cats, which will be me one thankful day when Mieze is more used to it and I have got Carlotta to eat happily in the kitchen (She likes to drag her meat off to chew if it's in bigger bits haha).
