Holistic Pet Care

I'm not sure if rawfeeding@yahoo is the group I started with. When
using the BARF term was stopped, it got pretty confusing with name
changes. If that is 'the Big list', I was on it for years.

Back in the early days, the Basic Barf (?) list saved the day. It
isn't for newbies, so I just lurked. That's when I found out how
simple and inexpensive the diet could be. I was SO relieved because I
had already started the intro period with just chicken.

Seven years later, 2 of my 3 dogs started itching non-stop and making
bloody wounds. There was major hair loss and they could not sleep.
That went on for 2 years and I eliminated every possibility but I
could not eliminate food. My RMB sources are too limited and I
couldn't do an elimination diet.

I still don't know what caused the itching but it is under control
FINALLY! I had to compromise. When I tried to get assistance from the
Raw Chat group, it was homeopathy or nothing. The contradictions in
that category are extensive. I have nothing against it but I don't
believe that homeopathy, or anything else, is the ONLY answer. I got
flamed big time. One person had the nerve to send me a list of things
I could give up in order to afford the consultation fees for 2 dogs -
$400. In my case, her list should have been good for a laugh -
manicures, permanents, movies, dinner out, fire the maid. I'd gladly
fire the maid - that would be me. There was more to the list but none
of it applied to a person living on a farm and trying to care for as
many rescues as possible on a very tight budget. I was very upset.
The bottom line was that I didn't care enough for my pets! Since
When?!?!?
