Straining going to the toilet

Lola has been on raw for a few weeks now, when its time to do her buisness it looks like she has to push quite hard. Is this normal?

What's the poop like when she goes Harry? Could be too much bone?

Kinda a golden brown colour.

Aww poor Lola I've not much experience with it Harry I've only just started raw feeding a week and 1/2 ago someone should be along shortly who can help.

I'd try reducing the bone content a bit. How much offal do you give?

Watever is inside a chicken carcus a couple of times a week.

That probably isn't enough, especially as liver should form at least half of the offal so at least 5% of the total food. There's hardly any liver in a chicken!

You'll need to cut down on bone & increase the offal. Do you only feed chicken?

No she is getting chicken,beef, pork and lamb. Il try get more offal.

Ive been feeding Roxi on pet mince morning and night with a teaspoon of salmon oil once a day , then at midday she gets one chicken wing and one about 9-30 / 10 pm ... Get i get opinions on this and if you think its about right or how i can improve it , thanks :-)

Personally I don't like the mince because you can't control the amount of bone/offal (I take it the mince is complete with bone & offal?).

Yes it is Caryll

Yes, as I said, I don't really like them. You have no control over the amounts.

I know what you mean , but as a complete novice to raw feeding i think its a good way to start , i will introduce more variety when i get more into it :-)

Have you read Ella's thread on raw? It's really good & explains the basics well...
