This has become my question too. Sophie has definitely changed her elimination habits and I am trying to figure out how long I need to keep her on this strict diet of Hills i/d both wet and dry. I think she might need a little more fiber, that's why I bought the dry kibble. I don't know if that's sane logic. I also feel that she will stay 'satisfied' longer with the dry, but again, I'm a novice.
I'm really sorry my first question started a bit of a problem between people on this link that I'm relying on for help, thru their experience and superior knowledge. I want to thank EVERYONE for replying to my post, I am learning a lot, even tho at times I'm a bit confused.
No need for you to apologize. How have Sophie's elimination habits changed: frequency, consistency?

I agree with proceeding with caution and running everything by your vet to prevent a relapse or a complication. My boys may be suffering the effects of too much fiber today. Not sure if it was the very small addition of veggies to their diet or if they caught a bug, but they are sick. Getting better, so no need to worry, but they are not coming off a pancreatic attack, so it isn't that big of a problem.
