I would go back on puppy food until you can select a lower fat diet.

Yeah, the beef is definitely not for her. I also think that I should go back to puppy food. She slept through the rest of the morning and did not vomit but she still has diarrhea. I gave her plain boiled chicken and she drank some water.
The BalanceIT is very difficult for me to work with for some reason because she does not want to eat a FULL chicken breast daily plus vegetables. She is only 3 lbs when I weighed her at the vets office for the ear cleaning. She gets full from half of it for the day. I think this is why she might have lost weight or feels lighter because she isn't getting enough food since she gets full.

Linda, the funny thing from all of this is that she made sure not to throw up on her new cloud 9! She really likes it, thank you for making it for us.
I think home cooking is scaring me after this episode because I don't think she's getting fully what she needs and the BalanceIT recipes themselves are excessive in amounts for us. The supplement amount itself makes the food go brown and it smells so bad that sometimes she sniffs it and walks away. I like the idea of home cooking but if there is anything out that there is close to home cooking but already balanced.. I would feel more safe with that. Does anyone have suggestions for a good puppy food besides Wellness, Blue Buffalo and Merrick? I like foods such as Primal because it looks close to "real" food but I don't want to feed her raw. I think in my situation, how she was eating before was better for her because I would feed her less than 10% unbalanced food such as a little boiled chicken plus her dry food and I knew her food was balanced and that she will be ok.
