As long as their activity levels are good and they aren't drastically losing weight, I wouldn't worry.

now they seem to be eating a little more... I give up trying to figure them out. Haha .I will post amounts tomorrow. I keep forgetting to bring my notebook to work this week and it seems to be so much easier for me to post when I'm at work than my short time at home after work when im totally lacking in motivation!!

Yep, slow but sure, we are getting there I'm happy they are eating more but I think I need to curtail Smokey's intake just a little bit. He gained a bit of weight this week and I can see him struggle a little bit with his back legs. I know it's probably from the adrenal tumor but I do notice a difference with how easily he walks (mostly just on the hardwood floors rather than carpet) and I don't want him to have difficulties.

**I mixed in some turkey heart, cow liver, and chicken wing soup a few of these days. I made a batch of that back in October and wanted to get rid of it. There was a little hesitation from Bea I noticed but Smokey dug right in. I noted the dates I mixed that in in my notebook but not here. Not sure that it's important.

What percentage of FDR are they on now? They should be just about ready to leave that behind.

I'd try pushing them over the edge in the next week or so.

as soon as you are done a week of no FDR we need to start introducing slivers of meat.

What do you think we will start with for slivers? The goat meat I buy is already ground. when I make their soups though, I put the ground stuff if the magic bullet to get it even smoother. Will ground goat meat work or will we start with something else?

ground will work to start but you might try another meat to start getting them used to it. Just cover it really well with the soup they are used to.

Egg Meals 7/4 PM 7/6 overnight
the "+" next to the 95% indicates that I calculated what would be 95% and added extra raw to get them ready to go off FDR "cold turkey." I've added .1 oz each meal and am up to adding 1.1 oz as of this morning.
