Four days ago I switched 7 on a raw diet. The kibble I had been feeding had three of the four 6 month olds hog fat, along with a mature female. Two extremely active 1 1/2 year olds and one 6 month old did not have the weight I like in cool weather. All the dogs when on kibble had loose stools half or more of the time. When I would increase the kibble on the active dogs by just 3/4 of a cup, they had completely loose stools all the time with a little weight loss. I could reduce the kibble and they would go back to loose stools half the time. Thus the raw diet came into play.
Immediately on the raw diet the stools were firm and all dogs. But, I noticed in just 4 days the hog fat dogs lookeded on weight. I could have skipped feeding them the 4 days and probably could not have seen such weight loss. Also, they look and acted great.
MY QUESTION ARE: Is it possible that the fat ones were just full of water,S they had retained? Has anyone experienced the same thing?
