So, on Friday I stopped by a butcher and bought 10 pounds of LIVER..beautiful looking liver:

I cut it into chunks and rinsed one bowl at a time till it was clean looking....

Each dog got about 2 pounds ......took me forever to get it cut, rinsed, and be ready to be served.....

NONE of my dogs would eat it!!!!! Bailey licked it...Misty picked it up and spit it out...Dozer would not even touch it and Frankie looked at me like...are you freaking kidding me?

So....i brought bowls back in rinsed them

....and cooked each bowl separately...

they ate it.......Dinner of Friday night...

Saturday morning.....vomit everywhere.....

So I pulled my knuckle bones out of the freezer...

defrosted them...

and served....

and I cleaned/rinsed vomit off the patio and picked it up all over back yard while they enjoyed their bones.....

I am never doing liver again.......

How was your Saturday?

My dog loves lamb's liver(cooked),unfortunately it gives her diarrhoea.
Looking at the size of your liver assume it's cow/ox ?

You realize... that much of any organ meat is liable to have that effect on a dog's gut, right?
It's not the liver, it was the amount they were fed.

mudwick. :) welcome back...(in case you did not see other post) missed you!..

i gave them regular amount that i feed them, i should have probably gave them a little of it mixed with something else...but i had nothing else defrosted at that time...live and learn....live and learn.... :)

gsm...I have no idea..i had 4 of them in 10 pound bag....I assumed it was cow.

That's a shitton of liver. Those dogs must have some cast-iron guts!

Anything over a couple of tablespoons, and it's the green apple trots around here.

Maybe next time stirred in with some THK?

looks like veal liver. beef (older) livers are approx. 10 lbs each...pretty big. (if for some reason that is beef liver rather than veal liver, it has the wrong coloring...and since liver is a filtering organ i would stay away from it.)

2 lbs per dog was asking for trouble, live and learn. i probably wouldn't feed more than a handful of liver per dog (i guess that would be 4-6 ounces somewhere). that amount of liver at one time can cause an irritated bowel, which can cause a few days worth of really nasty poo. you're lucky it came up rather than gone through the other way, lol!

they look like they're loving those bones though!
