Question
I have a 5-month-old albino husky.  She is such an attention-getter!  We are having trouble with diarrhea so bad and I just read your answers about feeding raw stuff.  I have immediately switched her to this new diet to see if she is okay on it.  I have a few questions about certain foods.  Would canned salmon be okay for the fish?  Also, what is the amount I should be feeding her a day of the meat and the veggies.  I just gave her a mixture of a raw chicken leg with meat on it, green beans, one egg, and some crumbled up homemade bread and she loved it!  Also, would stuff like processed meats like bologna or hot dogs be okay?  Also, some raw deer meat, would that be okay?  My husband hunts deer and we have a freezer full of deer roast and ground deer meat.  That would be great if she could help us eat it!  Ha! Thanks for any advice!  

Answer
Hi There,
To feed your husky properly yes give all raw food. I will not go over all I have said previously to others as I guessed you have already read what I said here. So I will answer as best I can.
Would canned salmon be okay for the fish?
Canned fish of any kind is great.
Also, what is the amount I should be feeding her a day of the meat and the veggies.
Huskies can get fat quickly if over fed, as a guide my boys can survive pretty well indefinately on just a chicken quarter per day with a few treats thrown in. They need more if working though and if it is cold.
I just gave her a mixture of a raw chicken leg with meat on it, green beans, one egg, and some crumbled up homemade bread and she loved it!
Forget the bread dogs cannot process any kind of cereal at all. The rest was great.
Also, would stuff like processed meats like bologna or hot dogs be okay?
Processed meats would be suitable for a treat only. I would not feed these as a food, remember they are processed, what a dog needs is raw and unprocessed food.
Also, some raw deer meat, would that be okay? My husband hunts deer and we have a freezer full of deer roast and ground deer meat.
Deer meat would be very good for her she could almost live off of this exclusively, so take advantage of this food.
Hope this helps you.
