The evening of 9/14 because Cody's poop had improved to the point where I thought starting transitioning to his kibble should start. I started with adding just 10 kibbles to the chick and rice, this is going to be a very long transition. In the past when I changed him from one food to a new one, I do it over a period of 10 days. It is suggested transition 5 to 7 days when changing to a new food. I do it in 10 days' always have, to make sure there are no stomach issues. This transition will be much longer then the usual 10 days. Cody is a big boy weighing in at close to 12 lbs, so there's a lotta kibble. since he eats appox 3/4 cup split into twice a day. A long transition is not an issue for me. What is an issue is, today his Simparica tablet was due. I was hesitant to give it to him, concerned the diarrhea will return, but, fleas and ticks are still abundant as I live in a heavily wooded area. So I chanced it and gave him the tablet shortly after he ate tonight. So now I am on pins and needles for the next few days waiting for his net couple of poops and praying that one tab didn't upset his stomach.
