    Borders and raw bones

    I realize that this may be a specific dog issue but are Border's particularly sensitive to GI upset by ingesting raw bows or marrow. We just can't seem to give our border a raw bone without diarrhea occurring. He just had a bad episode after a veal knuckle. We thought it was marrow from leg bones but his stools had bits of gnawed bone so I am now thinking it is a physical reaction. I know how to treat him, I'm just wondering if this is a common problem with Borders.

    No, I know loads of Borders that are RAW fed, mine included, they are like dustbins, eat anything and have a cast iron stomach. Maybe your dog just doesnt suit a raw diet.

    Our Border was weaned onto raw food and bones and has no issues - afaik they are not particularly intolerant.

    Hi :) We have the same problem with our 1 year old BT. Hi is very windy too!! Red meat is especially a problem with his digestive system! :roll:
