Raw feeding questions

Hello, Im on my 4th day feeding raw to my 9 yr old sheperd mix (Bruce).
I made the switch cold turkey, he doesnt do well on kibble. He has an enlarged stomache, exrays also show gas blockages in the intestines slowing
his digestion. Other than that healthy and active.

Ive been feeding chicken legs, one a day for first two days and one leg and meat from a second leg the third day. Going very slow to start.

My concern is yesterday there were bones in his stool, 2 pieces, one was
hard and a little sharp. I was led to believe that raw chicken bones would
be fairly easy to digest. I really want to keep him on a raw diet, he has had no stomache upsets. His stools are very loose, but no full blown diarea.
Should i continue, or are bones in his stool a bad sign? Also i have not seen
him drink from his water bowl since on raw, but urinates as much if not more,
is this normal??

Thanks in advance for any advise.

John
