Miko's Tummy Trouble -Part 485

Hey there.... Thanks for checking in. He's doing pretty well. He's transitioning to a raw diet and it seems to be suiting him. He's had a few little digestive issues (read "loose stools") ... but things seem to be settling down now.
Watching him "enjoy" his food so much is great fun for us (after watching him gulp down nothing but boiled chicken and rice for so long, this is a real treat!!). He's putting some weight back on, so that's a big relief as well.
All in all, I think the key to keeping him well is sticking to a low fat diet. It definitely seems to be that he has troubles whenever he eats anything fatty. So for now he's eating lean poulty (no skin and excess fat trimmed off)... I'm hoping that after a couple of months of this lean diet, I'll be able to add some other meats to his repertoire.

I am thrilled to hear that he is doing so well, especially with introducing the raw diet.
good news indeed! Hopefully the older he gets the fewer issues he'll have.I don't know if he really lost any... I think it was more a case of getting taller/bigger, but not adding any fat. He got tall and skinny. He's filling out nicely now
