Better in the Raw and Miss Cleo

[Janelle S]

I recently started feeding Cleo a raw diet of ground chicken and/or turkey mixed together with Better in the Raw (it's a mix in that makes the raw diet complete). In one week, her poos are not solid but they're not syrup any more and she poos way, way less.

I think I'm a believer! When I adopted her last month, I was told she had IBS. It didn't think much of it until I experienced what that can mean. The poor girl was running to the box up to 10 times a day, stepping in the poo puddles she was making (and of course not covering) and tracking it through the house. I still don't know if she's ever in her life had a solid bowel movement, but this is a great improvement.

I know that there are far more committed people than I am and who feed organs, bones, etc. For now, this has made a huge difference in all of our lives.

I'm so glad you've seen the light at the end of the tunnel for her IBS problems!

By the way, I wanted to mention that Cleo went to the vet this week and she's gained over a pound on raw. This is good news! She was underweight before, despite gobbling up everything I ever put out in her dry food bowl (and then pooping it out as almost liquid). The vet says that this rules out IBD, I believe as IBD is typically a malabsorption issue. Since she didn't get better with pumpkin or psyllium, the vet says that kind of rules out true IBS too.

I took her in because even with the raw, her poo is still not completely solid and I just wanted to make sure I'm doing everything I can for her. The vet did a fecal that was sent to the lab and I'll have some results tomorrow. In the meantime, she's on Metronidazole and we're waiting to see.
