i will rotate between sweet potatoes and rice.
any more advice?
should i buy and use the rx diet that the vet will give today; i am not sure how to tell her i dont want to feed her that? she might get upset
here is the problem. (Please don't think this sounds harsh- it is just what is going on).

A person can't just decide they want to home cook and "cook" lol.. thats not the end of it. A dog's nutrition is VERY complex. While what you have mention is the BASIS of home cooking- you need to make sure it is balanced and that your dog is getting the proper amount of calories a day- not to mention the proper calcium/phosphorus ration.

You need to speak to a nutritionist. Layla has a diet that has been balanced for her needs but that might not be YOUR dogs needs. Layla can probably handle more fat that your dog can.

Is there any way you can find a quality low fat kibble until you are able to speak to a nutritionst and have a diet made especially for your dog?
