I missed some of the response, did not process in my mind... "Gees, you count all these "pros" to at least mention some of this stuff... " what you meant by this?
anyways, to your question that i feel was addressed to me? maybe?
It is great news that she is feeling better and if the puppy is going strong it may have a good chance !
I feed dry kibbles of a premium main brand , i also agree with the holistic foods and i am not against it .
But personally i find that the premium brands that also make prescription diet work better for me. I have used Royal Canin , and for nursing mommies you do puppy kibbles, i think you know that already, and currently i am using ProPlan , the premium natural Turkey formula for puppies, that is what i would try first and see how it goes. Than as a third choice i would do science diet . Royal canin is more "greasy" than the others, good for coat , but a lot of times contribute to soft stools... i do not like that at all, and the proplan usually is very palatable, so they like to eat, i found my mommies produce great amount of milk in it, nice stools and we have many other factors we count , such as not having eclampsya or milk fever ever after switched to this brand ... and a few other important things . That is my experience and sometimes even my vet tells me to go for science diet and i tell him i will keep my ways. The third was my vets recommendation but my dogs do not like it as much and they loose weight on it , so not the best option for me, specially new mommies who get emaciated from nursing big litter anyways ... when you have only one pup you do not need to worry as much.
Fat free cottage cheese in small quantities also help with calcium production and good poop, besides will get her some good bacteria to her GI. no more than a small table spoon a day !
Start mixing a few kibbles at a time ... keep the rice for few more days and hope !
