Anyone know? ???

Henry has had soft, jello-y poo twice today. He had prepackaged raw plus a spoonful of tripe last night for dinner, and chicken leg quarters/turkey hearts/turkey liver for breakfast this morning... all of which he's had before. ???

Can tripe go off? We're almost at the bottom of our thawed container...?

How long have you had it? I defrost the 2 pound container enough that I can divide it and put the rest back in the freezer. I keep it in the refrig for about a week before it is totally gone.

 

[henrysmom]

Definitely more than a week... probably closer to two? :-X

I buy the frozen packages that are a pound each, thaw it completely and Henry gets a heaping tablespoonful 3x a week.

How much/often do you give to Caleb?

I give Caleb about a tablespoon five times a week. I never let it go quite that long. It's usually a week or so.

Ugh!! Poor Henry! :-X

Thanks Susan!! It's going into the trash as we speak!

Susan so the tripe is ok if I freeze it again?

Many of the meats that you buy at the grocery store have been frozen and unfrozen a few times....it will be fine.

Well, that is going to make my life easier. I ordered 30lb chunk of tripe :

I have defrosted and re-frozen lots of Caleb's stuff. I buy in bulk and with just one dog at the moment, could not possibly use it all at one time.

One more note--I don't feed anything that has been in the refrig for two weeks. I don't for us and don't for Caleb.

 

[Fallriver]

Two weeks....eek
Boy, that would be just crawling with bacteria ;D

 

[henrysmom]

*hurk* :-X

I'm killing him!!! :-[ I'm a bad BAD raw Mom!!

Poor Henery.

His next package (it's only a pound) I partially defrosted, divvied up into 4 tupperware containers and refroze 3.

I love the poop talk ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

 

[henrysmom]

Poop is VERY important.

Absolutely - I always smile when I see other dog owners picking up those piles, and I just collect a few small "munchkins" ;D

 

[Fallriver]

Yes, kibble poop is something else...yikes
