I am feeding the hounds better than I ever have. They get veggies, organ meat, and probiotic rich Kefir everyday now. The organ meat is heart, kidney, or liver. All are rich in vitamins. I am not feeding Reagan any chicken backs since they tend to have a lot of fat. Instead, I feed her turkey and chicken necks. For additional calories, I feed some beef and brown rice as well. Her meals and treats are agreeing with her and I have settled into what I will use once she is weaned off the Metronidazole.
Reagan has been getting weekly B12 injections. I researched foods high in vitamin B12 thinking that I would try to feed Reagan a diet high in B12. I found out that you basically would have to be a strict vegetarian in order to be eating a diet deficient in B12. I concluded that Reagan is getting plenty of B12.... she just needs to absorb it along with other nutrients.
