Is it okay to feed raw lamb liver to a dog with poor appetite?

How should a large dog be dewormed?
Adult large dogs generally need monthly external deworming and internal deworming every three months. The right product depends on the parasites involved and the dog's response to treatment. Dogs that eat raw meat or dirty items may need more frequent internal deworming.
My dog vomited a lot of yellow watery fluid without warning after eating sausage at noon — what’s wrong?
Vomiting yellow fluid can have many causes, such as gastroenteritis, parasites, poisoning, or viral disease. Given the dog's preexisting poor appetite, an underlying gut problem is likely, so take it to a vet for fecal, abdominal ultrasound, and virus screening. If a visit is inconvenient, withhold food, and after vomiting eases give pet anti-emetic and anti-inflammatory medication; if no further vomiting, feed small frequent portions of mild foods like millet or minced-meat congee, and consult a vet if vomiting continues.
Why is my dog getting thinner?
A dog's weight loss may be caused by diet issues, excessive anxiety, high activity, parasite infections, or other illnesses.

If the weight loss is disease-related, the underlying cause must be found and properly treated.

What happens if a dog’s nose isn’t black?
A non-black nose may be genetic (normal) or age-related (slower metabolism, less pigment, no action needed). But poor nutrition can also fade it; such dogs are thin and weak—supplement or check for gut, parasite, or endocrine disease.
How are oral external dewormers for dogs?
Oral external parasite preventives work well and spread through the body, allowing baths around treatment, and are gentle so licking won't poison. Dose by weight and age.
