That's what I'm thinking! Also, It's odd to me that Pilot had the same exact black tarry diarrhea that Pax did.
If it was IBS and or something related to Pax's health, wouldn't Pilot be asymptomatic?
I feel like I feed a highly digestible diet already. A typical meal would consist of the following:
30-40% protein (mostly chicken breast and some Alaskan salmon)
40-50% veggies (peas, carrots, zucchini, lima beans, kale.. all boiled and pureed)
10-20% white rice
We mix this all into a bowl and they eat several ounces at a time, several times a day.
We add enough calcium citrate to balance out the phosphorus in the meat (1 to 1 ratio)
At meal time we give them small amounts of human grade vitamin b complex, dry vitamin e, probiotics, and glucasomine for their luxating patella.
This seemingly has worked well for the last 4 years after Pilot had calcium oxolate stone surgery.
At the moment due to the diarrhea episode, I'm only feeding them chicken breast and boiled skinless mashed red potatoes. The boys aren't a fan of rice by itself and usually spit it on the floor! |
