I'd recommend you feed just carb for a couple days...as in, potatoes. Give their systems a rest from digesting proteins. Then, slowly add protein to the potatoes. Some dogs have a lot of trouble digesting rice - so personally, I'd stay away from it right now (but that's me).
Great idea, just carbs!

How about sweet potatoes instead of white potatoes?

Lady can't digest rice. It comes out just like it went in. Oatmeal is the easiest for her to digest.

Just a thought, Rachel. Would your vet allow you to put the fecal profiles on a payment plan? That way you could get your employee discount and only pay a certain amount each month.

Having two sick dogs is tough. Hopefully they will be understanding, especially since you have already spent so much.
