Raw Patties Day 2

This morning's toilet was cleared by Mr Liow.

According to him, there were both hard and soft stools but in very little amounts.

When I woke up, there was a firm stool about the length of my thumb.

This is day 2 of Primal and till now (9pm), they have not pooped yet. And they have not peed too (??)

They've drank very little water since yesterday (which was normal, I read, of dogs feeding on raw) but I never expected them to drink THAT little water.

I need some help here from raw feeders here: Do I have to 'make' them drink or should I just let them be? They have not peed today, for the whole day!

There are days when they pee only when I'm away (either out of the house, or upstairs) and I have been around the whole day today. Probably when I go upstairs later, the toilet will flood.

I hate having to 'make' anyone do anything. I'm already sick of feeding AN, taking days of rest in between just not caring whether or not she's eating and then feeling worried after that when she doesn't eat because I do not 'make' her. Do I have to 'make' them drink water now?

You know, clearing Baileys' and Maen's shit makes me happier than feeding AN?

Watching them happily chomping on their food makes up for the emptiness each time I feed AN now.

So, yes. I will give Baileys and Maen anything that will make them happy. If only AN will allow me to make her happy with food, I will feed her my flesh if she is hungry for that.

Raw Diet: Primal

This is their first meal of a proper Raw diet with necessary nutrients included. We were out almost whole day and when we came home, there was only 1 short section of poop on the papers and it was firm. Does not stink either.

I forgot to mention that even though the 2 of them passed loose stools few days ago after having raw wings, the stools did not stink. Loose stools almost always stink, don't they? I asked Mr Liow who also agreed it didn't smell foul when he helped clear the many soiled papers those 2 days. He confessed that he stopped breathing whenever he had to clear their output, so he never found their poop foul smelling

-________-"

How observant my hubby is!

Anyway, back to Primal after digestion:

It's now 1.31am and we are all supposed to be sleeping. The last piece of poop was still that one and only small piece of firm and non-stinking poop. We do not know who that was from but I am excited to see the final poop result of from their first day on Primal tomorrow when we wake up.

It's sooo convenient and simple to feed them those raw patties. Costly though. Once I get the hang of giving raw and when we go back, maybe I can learn to prepare our own raw food to cut cost, if I am not overwhelmed by the growing AN and possibly number 2 human puppy.
