Thanks for your comments. Miss Maddie is 13, bad teeth, heart condition, and has a tumor on her liver. She had stopped eating several months ago and got down to 17lbs. That's when we started feeding her the hamburger. We had tried chicken but she wouldn't eat it. Also tried the rice and it was a no go. She is now up to 25-27lbs and I am hesitant to with-hold food and have her lose weight again.
Try a raw food supplier that does whole meats. In my area, we have Blue Ridge Beef. The food comes in frozen plastic tube things and it's ground up. You can get just muscle meat, or muscle and/or bone and/or organ meats. That will be a much better balanced diet, and I have yet to have a dog turn it down. It looks and acts like ground beef, only a little bloodier.
