Update (Lucy & Izzy):
Girls are finally on chunks of meat! they are not super fond of bone, or any organs yet... but they are tolerating the livers alright in small doses... Ive had to split them up over a few days. Izzy has been gaining weight back and Lucy's slim-down has slowed, but she is still dropping a little bit. Both look very happy and healthy, poops are normal. Energy (especially for Lucy) is at an all time high. Their coats are really starting to feel softer.
Izzy still is not exactly "excited" when it's time for feedings, but Lucy sure is! Lucy is less resistant to changes in proteins, but i think that is just because she's a little chow-hound and will eat just about anything you put in front of her. Except the kidneys... She took one sniff and was NOT having any part of it. yet.
