Plus I'm not dealing with that, thanks anyway. I need other suggestions...

Sorry, I won't be much help. My first thought was to have him get rid of those pesky neighborhood kids

Nah... those are my neighborhood kids. As in my alternative to my own.

Chasing dogs and people may be more of a play thing... hunting instincts are more obvious with smaller things... Does he chase squirrels or bark at them when they are up a tree? Does he chase balls and avidly watch or try to catch birds?

I don't have any trees or squirrels. And he doesn't care about birds.

Now tonight he ate his chicken fine, no seasoning.

Sounds like he hardened the fuck up finally. Now he's a real man (dog).

Dogs are still going strong... cats are off the raw.

A few weeks ago Mr. Bear stopped eating... after a few days we noticed he was yellowing... Jaundice probably isn't a good thing in cats.

Nearly $4k and 3 days in the hospital later, Mr. Bear is being treated for a nasty bladder infection and hepatic lipidosis - fatty liver disease. He also had an inflamed bile duct/gall bladder, but all seems better now. He's on a feeding tube and a plethora of drugs... one of which I cannot administer for the life of me. He's actually been eating on his own for several days now and is pretty much non-yellow... acting like an asshole, which is a good sign.

Not sure if the raw food had anything to do with it or not, but through more research I found out that cats are WAY more sensitive than dogs... raw food must be given very quickly after the kill because cats are very sensitive to various bacterias... even meat that's been dead/left out for a couple of hours can make a kitty sick. Dogs on the other hand can eat rancid meat and a pile of cat shit (ask me how I know) and not be bothered one bit.

Well if the on/off paticipation wasn't bad enough. His chin achne is still being problematic. Wife has been doing some online research and some say the high protien chicken diet may still cause problems.

We are low on chicken so she wants to try a grain free, venison & potatoe kibble. I just want his problems to be over. The zits, were the real reason why we started this, it hasn't fixed the problem. RESET.

My Schnoodle has started her "sniff and wait" again. She'll eat the organs but wait till the other dog starts sniffing around the bowl before she'll eat the meat. It's about 30 % she'll eat the glop.

Its takes a while for any food allergy/diet related issues to begin to correct themselves.
