Indy has been having itchiness, and digestive issues of late. The itchiness has of late gone to the extent of causing self mutilation from licking and biting. Leading candidates acording to my research are yeast infection in the gut, or allergies. (Of course the 2 symptoms could be unrelated.) This leads to a logical diagnostic of an Elimination diet. Luckily for Indy my work's weekly lunch was sparsely attended, and I manage to save several pounds of chicken and beef. So this week is yogurt, chicken, and beef....
The idea is that yogurt seems to calm his stomach issues so it's likely not causing them. It's also said to be more for yeast issues. The meat is much closer to a dog's ancestral diet which reduces the chance of allergies. While it's not a horribly balanced diet it won't hurt him to eat it for a week. Also the meat and yogurt should starve out yeast in the gut. Hopefully this won't result in another night of horrible gas and frequent trips outside.
He seems to be loving it, which will likely not be the case for stage 2 the vegan diet....
