Whoa there, FIVE! Hold up there, nelly! My Wylie (7.5 lbs) gets 2 per meal; my Marcel (3.4 lbs) gets 1 - 1 1/3 per meal. So, how much does your guy weigh? If you go on Natures Variety's website, they have a feeding guide there
. As for the poo, if he's detoxing it shouldn't last more than a day or 2. My guys didn't detox at all - but I was homecooking when they switched.
