Re: Lucy-- refusing raw food now

I actually did try sauteeing it in some water and giving her the broth. She has liked that the past few weeks but would not touch it today.  But I think there may be something wrong with this batch of turkey as it was less red than the last batches.   I had not thought to add salt. That is a good idea.  As soon as I get some more meat I will do that.    Thanks, Michelle   P.S. Thanks for the RR suggestion.  She is quite calm, though. Or did you mean I should take it?  :)     In a message dated 1/23/2006 7:12:06 P.M.
