Just a note for readers, the cooked chicken does not include the bone. If and when Sienna can start eating raw food and raw bones, her poop will go to once a day and will be firm and fresh, it will get even better for her. This is a perfect example of what happens when a dog goes from a junky dog food to a good diet of fresh foods. Thanks for the update! You are wonderful for Sienna. Please give her and yourself a great big hug from me. Darcie] Dear Darcie I wanted to write a quick note to say that Sienna is doing great on her new diet. I have given her cooked chicken, plain yogurt, raw egg, and mashed veggies for two weeks now. She only poops maybe twice a day, before it was 4 to 5 times a day. Junk in junk out with the kibble junk food. Been monitoring her glucose levels, they are going up and down, but I expected that. Maybe another couple of weeks and I will have that completely controlled. I have been able to drop the insulin amount from 11 units down to 8 units twice a day, and the pancreatic powder is down from 1/2 tsp a day to maybe 1/3 tsp a day. She is looking great, fur soft again, and eyes are bright. Plus the bonus of all this is she is demanding my attention again. Thank you for your advice that you give.
