RE: [HolisticPet2] Animals and sickness
Denise,
OMG! A similar situation happen about 4 years ago with Bess when she was eating a turkey neck. She choked on it and by the grace of God (?), when I jerked her up to run her to the vet, she just happened to yorp it up.
After that I ground *everything* for about a year, even veggies! LOL!!!
Then I went to Primal Formulas.
As I type this, Bess is out in the patio eating a chunk of 6" ox tail, not ground, so I was able to get over that incredible fear of her choking again. And for 14 years old, she's still chewin' them up, good! :o)
Not that I don't think about that choking incident every single solitary day.
No, I don't think the dog would have made it if it had been fed raw. Some venomous snakes are far worse than others. Water Moccasins are one of the worst. Yes, definitely a sad story!

I have a customer who bought a raw puppy. Not sure if it was in the contract or not to have to feed raw but they did. After about 1 year the breeder told them that they had lost the mother from choking on a bone. So they got scared and stopped feeding raw all together and just went to some dry food diet. I guess they didn't considered ground raw.
Anyhow not too long ago they were walking their dog at a rest area while traveling here in Florida. The dog was bit by a venomous snake (probably water moccasin) on the nose and died before they could get it to a vet hospital which was only 7 miles away.
I wonder if they had continued to feed raw if the dog would have made it at least to the vet. That's probably too much to ask for a raw fed puppy even second generation. I guess there is so much to consider with snakes, like where the bite was (on the nose) and how big it was, etc.
Really sad story, I know!
Blessings,
Denise
