Why not just listen to your vet? Why is it so important for you to feed other than what the vet has advised? People can all tell you what they do with their own pets, but the VET saw your dog and has given specific advice for your dog, at this particular stage of its life.

You have also told us your puppy is sick and on clavamox -- that is another reason not to be experimenting with new foods. Follow the vet's advice, especially when he is treating your puppy for an illness.

The poor thing has enough going on right now trying to adapt to a new environment! I would definately not be feeding things like scrambled eggs at this time. They can be great for a dog later but you are trying to get your dog used to your home, your training, your environment, even a difference in drinking water can cause some upset. Just keeping the puppy's food the same may be the only constant in his life. Give him a break.

You really should follow the advice the vet has given. You have asked these change of food questions before, and I thought you might just keep asking until someone said, "yes go ahead and feed what you want." But I still think you need to let this tiny new puppy adjust slowly! There will be plenty of time to experiment with foods later.
