I really really appreciate all the info on feeding raw foods to my new chi. the last few days he has been eating pretty good 3 times a day. he is picky, but funny thing is he will eat one type of food in the morning (his choice), another one at lunch, and another at dinner. it is dog food. one is cearer wet, one is purina simi moist, & then Mixables. Oh, I have to hadn feed him. (lol) I think he might have gained a bit of weight. I will take him to the vets office tomorrow and have him weighed. I will try the raw meat. Can he get worms from raw ground beef? The vet did say his teeth need a good cleaning! I will be doing that next. THANK YOU EVERYONE! will be looking forward to reading more info about chiwawa's. shanna Visit my eBay Store For Childrens Wear Specializing In Christening & Communion @ http://stores.ebay.com/Kavis-Christening-n-Communion-Store --- On Fri, 9/17/10, Darcy Jacobs <flyway7...@yahoo.com> wrote: From: Darcy Jacobs <flyway7...@yahoo.com> Subject: Re: [Chihuahuas] New To Group: Please help with thin recused chihuahua To: Chihuahuas@yahoogroups.com Date: Friday, September 17, 2010, 11:34 AM i also found a well played out chi is a hungary chi!! lol darcy From: Rylee O'Neill <ryleeone...@gmail.com> To: Chihuahuas@yahoogroups.com Sent: Fri, September 17, 2010 2:29:09 PM Subject: Re: [Chihuahuas] New To Group: Please help with thin recused chihuahua What a lucky little guy. Maybe try some of the home cooked meals Scott and the others make? I've been really impressed with how other's chi's look after being put on raw or home cooked meals. I haven't made the change but I do use Natural Balance products with limited ingredients. Frida loves the soft food warmed up some. They also have food rolls or treat rolls that smell great when warmed up. Sounds like you really saved his bacon. Send pictures, sounds like a sweetie pie.

He needs to put on some weight From: Chihuahuas@yahoogroups.com [mailto:chihuah...@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Kavi Sent: Monday, September 13, 2010 2:10 PM To: Chihuahuas Subject: [Chihuahuas] New To Group: Please help with thin recused chihuahua Hi everyone! I am new to this chihuahua group. We adopted a 4 year old male chi one week ago from the SPCA (non-Kill shelter) of las vegas. His name "was" Taco, but we changed it to Ricky. He was turned in by his owners. He is black & tan. He is very very thin. He should weigh about 7 lbs the vet says, but he weighs about 4.1. His ribs and hip bones show. At first I thought he was starved by his other owners, but, I am having a real tough time getting him to eat now. The first 3 days, he ate 4 times a day. Now its barely one time a day. Its not that he wont eat, its that he picks and chooses what and when he wants to eat. I have tried to feed him S.D canned, simi-moist, mixables, dog cookies, good dry dog food, and now he is not eating much at all. this morning he took 4 little bites of his S.D canned food, but I had to feed it to him by hand! If he were at a normal weight, I would not worry so much, but he is very under weight. I bought some Nutri-cal for him yesterday. he is not thrilled with taking that willingly either... have to put it in his mouth. The only thing he will eat that he loves is either human chicken or those pup-a-roni treats. Loves them! So I know someone here might have some ideas about how to spark his appetite. He has seen a vet, and seems ok. he is happy and playful. if anyone has any ideas, please let me know. He has been through a lot. He was at the shelter 2 weeks, shots, micro-chipped, fixed, and put in a kennel with 2 other bigger small dogs, which one of the dogs was picking on him, barking and bitting at him. that is when I decided I wanted to see him... and we took him home! PS: I take him almost everywhere I go. He loves the car.
