LSF, I give C&CJ pork and liver, not too much liver cos that tends to loosen them up, if they are regularly wormed there should be no probs at all, but I`m sure Kay can confirm or otherwise 
As for the Lamb it could be whatever ingredients were in the meal were upsetting Enid, so I`d give lamb a try, maybe just a small amount to start with and see how she goes, my friend has a GSD that can`t eat chicken based meal, but is fine with raw.
Was the tripe you gave from a meal mix again?, or frozen raw, again if it was meal based, i`d try her with a bit and see.
Veggies should be minced/blended, I do give give CJ a raw carrot now and again cos he enjoys them, but they are hard for them to digest that way and they don`t get the nutrients from them
As for how much to feed, you`ll start to get an idea of whats right for her by looking at, if she has the "waist" and you can feel her ribs but not see them, then she`s doing well, if she gets on the thin side, increase, fat/tubby decrease
Monya, I think Kay said 3% of bodyweight per day per dog, with Mambo you could give him a little les and Mylo a little more, you`ll soon get to know by looking at them how they are doing weight wise
I`m not sure on the butternut squash, again I think kay may know, maybe best to text her so she doesn`t have to trawl through this thread 
Wendy, don`t know how many wings you gave Bailey for his dinner some 10 days ago!!, I`d suggest a couple tho

butternut Squash is OK... in small doses only....the oxalic acid can interfere with Calcium absorption... I dont feed it to dogs under 14months at all.....the same applies to spinach and beetroot leaves 
If anyone does need to ask a question...please PM me... I tend to only pop into this thread occassionaly...
