Assumsing you have the dog wormed out, this recipe usually packs on weight..
Satin Balls
10 lbs cheap hamburger (high fat %)
1 large box uncooked oatmeal (I generally use about 3/4 of the box)
12 raw eggs
1 15oz jar wheat germ
10 packages Knox unflavored gelatin
1 cup vegetable oil
1 cup salmon oil
1 and 1/4 cup unsulfured molasses
4 cups cooked brown rice
I roll these into about baseball size patties and freeze.
Just mix all ingredients together? No cooking anything but rice?
from me.....who else. tapatalk
I made these this weekend, for a bitch who whelped on Saturday. She hadn't been eating very well (or at all), and we all know she needs the nourishment, so I figured it was worth a try. Now she runs out of the whelping box, grabs the ball, and runs back in to her pups to scarf it down. She still has not touched her dry food since Thursday, I'd say she likes it...
Anyway, I just cooked the rice, then mixed it all together, balled it up between baseball and softball size, and stuck it on a baking tin to freeze. I also left the egg shells in it, and used cod liver oil instead of Salmon oil because that's what I could get and it was rated higher in every reported nutrient.
Making it was not cheap, but I can certainly see how it would work.
Good luck.
