I started Osa (10yrs+) on raw food about two months ago. She is getting 1lb of meat a day and about 14 ounces of veggies a day. She was a touch under weight when I got her 77lbs, I would like to see her at about 80lbs.
Today at the vet she weighed in at 74lbs. The vet said I may need to look at adding some carbs to her raw diet (vet supports raw feeding) to help her keep the weight on. Does anybody have any suggestions? I really had hoped to avoid all grains in her diet, so I am a bit torn as to what to do. Any suggestions on what to add, and how much? Are there better grains to add? Or better ways to add carbs to her diet?
I will also note that she is on thyroid medicine, and I am concerned she is being over medicated at this point, which is preventing her from putting the weight back on. I should have the new thryoid test results by Monday.
TIA!
