Michelle - thank you for all you have posted. I have learned so much just reading this thread. I am so glad Lacy is doing well. Hope the diet makes a difference for both Lacy & Riley

Lacy has been eating her homecooked diet well and hasn't been sick. Her poops are much bigger now LOL. She's on a lot of supplements right now too: Fish oil & olive oil, Vitamin B complex, Lipozyme, a Probiotic, Marin, and Denosyl...so i'm hoping we'll eventually be able to eliminate some. Plus she is still taking Tyolsin for a few more weeks. We are going to start her on Vitamin B injections this week as well. She'll get an injection weekly for 6 weeks, then an injection every two weeks for 6 weeks, and then she can get them monthly after that if we continue. She'll have her blood retested in a few months after the injections are complete.

Michelle, I'm so glad she's doing well! Didn't you just love Susan?

My guys' poos were bigger (compared to raw) on the fish diet too. Whew, I gotta say - I do sure love those raw-fed-poos.

I am so glad Lacy is doing well! Lady ate Innova's Evo, then NV Priarie for several years until she started showing signs of liver damage from years of phenobarbital for seizures. Her diabetes was beautifully managed on the higher protein foods. Poops were much better, too.

After three HGE episodes, I'm rather poop obessed. Much bigger poops with homecooked!

You are not alone in being a die-hard poop inspector.

She said she didn't need one since well be adding half raw back in in a few weeks. She said she will get her calcium from the bones in the raw and will be okay without a supplement for this month. She said you have to be careful supplementing calcium

She's starting vitamins b injections tomorrow. We will do those for a few months. She will probably be retested sometime this summer after those are complete.

Lacy is having a sick day today. She vomitted a little bile this morning. She didn't want to eat her breakfast but the small amount she did eat got thrown upva little later. I just got her to eat the rest of it so hopefully her tummy is a little better and she will eat her other meals. She just keeps shivering. It is cold today so she has warm clothes on and a blanket on her.

I guess it's just going to take some time. She's been on her antibiotic for almost two weeks as well as homecooked. But she's only been on susan Davis' diet and supplements for a week so I'm sure it's just going to take some time

Could the antibiotics be upsetting her tummy?
