Thanks Ruth It's complicated further by the fact that I have to be careful about purine levels as she's a dally so offal, fish, beans etc have to be kept to a minimum, etc. Tonight she's had a chicken breast (as I've not got any chicken wings, having been in hospital and not being able to drive I won't get some til tomorrow), half a raw egg and shell, half a jacket potato, some fish oil, half a clove of garlic, pureed raw apple (without the pip and core), raw broccoli, raw carrot, with extra water, bio yoghurt and I think somethign else went in there too I've ordered some lamb with bones, turkey pices, chicken wings, lamb's liver and sardines, cottage cheese, bio yoghurt, eggs etc from the supermarket, want to try it for a week or two before ordering the meat from a proper wholesaler(foudn that website as well Ruth, are they quite flexible about delivering? I know they will delvier to Birmingham though). I won't be feeding cereal or pasta to beign with as I am trying to rule out food allergies one by one. But I will probably try to feed veg and other stuff as well as the meat, not least becasue it's cheap and bulks out the meal and slows her down. Oh - and Purdie is ALWAYS starving and permanently stands next to the food cupboard so we;re used to that! Despite not being walked for 7 motnhs she's not put on any weight as she's such a high energy dog so I will probably start off feeding a fairly normal portion and adjust accordingly - she's on the slim side as it is so she can afford to gain a few pounds.
What do you think? How does that sound? I know I have a lot more reading to do.
Not sure what quanties to feed the lamb or chicken in, and will feed one offal subtitute meal a week. I am still feeding one "normal" meal of kibble a day as I don't want to shock her system (apparently they can develop skin conplaints due to an excess of toxins coming out or something? )
(please excsue writing/spelling if it's a bit hit and miss, I'm a bit blurry eyed still!)
