How long has he had diarrhea now? Are you following the 80/10/10 ratios of the Prey Diet? If not, that could be your problem.
What do you mean your vet "suggested a RAW Diet" - do you mean a BARF diet?
If you do want to continue raw, but want to discontinue prey model - you could move to pre-packaged raw/Barf diets like Natures Variety or Primal (I feed NV). But, I'm concerned about some of the stool issues you're having.... |
He has not had normal poop since I changed to Prey Model Diet. I posted what I am feeding him in reply to Elli Mae's reply. He is 1.5 yrs old. I have had him on Natures choice can & Kibble. He did not eat it unless I used more of the can. Then I read how bad and the problems the Natures choice was giving and changed. I put him on Evo can with red meat kibble. He did not eat the kibble at all, only the meat and eventually did not eat this either. I read up on Prey Model here and on the web and started it in May. He loves it and eats all.
I probably am feeding a little more meat, 10% organs and bone every other day. I may not be giving him enough of something or too much of another. He has had soft to diarreha since on Prey Model.
If I were to change, it would be raw. Where I live there are no place to buy pre-packaged raw/Barf diets and I find it is very pricey. I would be paying like $20 for shipping if not more. But if I have to do this I will. I want him healthy.
