kizkiznobiteok…now…this is not a bone problem as such…really it isnt….if the bone was as you described and in the colon then it had not digested…that means that there is a problem somewhere in his digestion system….the system starts at the mouth with saliva and ends …well at the other end….when these problems start in the older dog then it usually means that there is a problem with the hydrochorlic acid production and/or a disruption with the digestive enzyme production…
a dogs system dissolves bone to a mushy soupy yukky semi liquid state…and this has not happened…ok with me?
read very slowly and very carefully this article and you will see where i am at

to answer your question then yes you can feed raw and supplement for calcium and phospherous etc…but….that will not stop what is likely to be a developing problem….
what i would be doing is putting him on small meals and often of easily digestable foods ….with added enzymes….am away from home at the moment but when i get back i can put you a diet together…
but you really need to get back to the vet and discuss getting a diagnostic run done….interesting you mentioned the skin condition….this was the start of it hun…that was the first signal…the outside acts as the alerts etc to what is happening inside…
happy to help….dont know what your vets are like…sounds good if he not opposed to raw…am happy to chat to him too if you want to give him my email addy…
read the article…hope the wee boyo feels better soon….
