Also forgot to mention I have a little papillon mix stray that I took in and she had a puppy 2 weeks ago. She's been on raw for a week with NO problems. Darn poodle sensitive tummies!

When I did the cooked rice and chicken because of the runs at first, I did not cook the chicken. I just cut it up into pieces and mixed it with the rice. It's more the fat and too much food at one time you are trying to avoid right now. You can cook it if you want, but it has more nutrition if left raw. Kasey straightened right up with this mix!
This morning after I fed her she went out and squatted for a LONG time, it was like goo. No chunks. But I don't know what it was like yesterday because I was with her a lot but she never went, and then I had to go to a wedding last night so I left her outside because the weather was nice and since she hadn't gone all day, I didn't want her to go in her crate. I will keep her with me all day and if it's goo again I'm not sure what to do.
I'm hoping that she had a pretty normal poop last night and maybe this was left overs.... ??? Her poop was completely normal before switch to raw. The breeder gave her raw on and off while weening (mixed with kibble) I'm going to email breeder and see if she ever had any issues with her tummy.
It wasn't watery, it was like pudding but more slimey. She's on soupy rice and white turkey breast. Started yesterday morning, so this morning was 24 hours.

I'd stick with the soothing diet for another day and I'd drop off a fecal Monday if you don't see formed poop in the morning.
(That description sounds like the poop that parasites cause, and it's a lot better to know. The food switch may have been total coincidence.)
Last night puppy had logs, and when I picked it up it went straight into mush. YOu know what I mean? It came out okay but was not a firm log like I get with kibble. Should it be pretty compact and firm with raw?
This morning I gave her rice, chicken breast and one chicken neck....so we'll see. She barely poops. Memorial day weekend I wasn't able to catch her pooping. I had her in the crate half most of the time and left her out for a few hours so she must have done it then. Since she's not having frequent poops I'm not as worried about her being sick or dehydrated. She's probably going once every 30 hours instead of twice every 24 like with kibble.
At this point I'm a little concerned about nutrition because she's going and it's been like 2 1/2 weeks of this, she's gotten chicken everyday, but no supplements or meat variation. Should I be worried about her growing bones?
