Feeding more than one protein is fine as long as she hasn't had them before although doing one at a time is better. I'm not sure that is going to fix the problem because this would start to fall under food allergies then and they aren't common in pups. Having a problem with corn would be more understandable than having a problem meat at this age in my opinion. Maybe it is a grain issue?
As for the fish kibbles that are looking promising, there are reports that people are find fish bones sticking out of the kibbles and not ground up. They may be sharp. So you might want to take that into consideration before going with one of those. |
My head is spinning, i feel like it would be great to start her with one protein just so we can rule things out one by one if we need to, but i dont want to skimp her on the fat and protein.
Here are her ID ingredients:
Water, Egg Product, Turkey, Rice, Ground Whole Grain Corn, Pork Liver, Soy Fiber, Dicalcium Phosphate, Potassium Chloride, Iodized Salt, Calcium Carbonate, Choline Chloride, Vitamin E Supplement, Ferrous Sulfate, Zinc Oxide, Taurine, Thiamine Mononitrate, Copper Sulfate, Manganous Oxide, Niacin, Calcium Pantothenate, Vitamin B12 Supplement, Pyridoxine Hydrochloride, Biotin, Riboflavin, Calcium Iodate, Vitamin D3 Supplement, Sodium Selenite, Folic Acid.
Maybe corn IS the culprit....how can they put that in a prescription food if so many dogs have problems with that?!?!
