A few weeks ago Bentley had diahrrea for a few days and I took him to the vet. He had no parasites or fever and the vet prescribed generic Flagyl for 5 days and a diet of boiled chicken/rice. He did not specify proportions so I just guessed at it and Bentley recovered for about 10 days then had another bout after I re-introduced his regular diet. Vet then said to go through the process again, returning to the kibble diet more slowly. He, of course, absolutely inhales the chicken & rice, will eat his kibble if it's mixed with chicken & rice, and isn't too crazy about kibble alone.
My question is this: If I decided to do homemade puppy food permanently what proportions am I supposed to use? I looked online and there are too many variables and I know nothing about the safety of any of them. He seems to be thriving on the way I fix it, but according to the online recipes I have it backwards. I'm giving at least twice as much rice as chicken and, as I said, I'm now mixing it all with kibble. His kibble is lamb/rice.
