    to be honest i dont think you would need both,, ACV is well known for clearing up ear infections in dogs,, if you need any links on raw feeding and the like let me know , and i can forward info on!

    Sagaris.. have you tried cutting or dicing up raw chicken and mixing it into her regular food? It might get her used to the taste and smell of it, you could start small and then try putting a chicken wing down for her?
    Yep - still not a clue, she will eat it cooked though! I think I will just have to persevere with this one!

    Update - Scraggy's ear is still bad but on the plus side he loves the beef mince (and I can hide his medicines in it which was one thing i worried about when switching to raw) and today he has also had a lamb chop and is LOVING IT!
    Kerri a lady on here kindly sent me some links for raw meat before I put him on it but thank you for the kind offer. There is SO much to read on it (and some conflicting views too!) but its lovely to come on here and chat to like-minded people I can learn from. This transition to raw isn't as traumatic as it could be because of you MSE lot! xx
    I have realised I will never play the Dane! :(

    Re: getting the dog to take pills, I roll mine's in peanut butter and she snaffles them without even noticing there's a tablet in it. The peanut butter is like manna to her, so she only gets it for taking meds.

    Jackie, would try that but he has so many allergies so am trying to keep to just raw meat for now.
